TL;DR: This is the first set of consistently dated marine sediment cores enabling paleoclimate scientists to evaluate leads/lags between circulation and climate changes over vast regions of the Atlantic Ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of robust and coherent paleohydrological proxies obtained from eleven cores distributed between 36 and 42°N was used to track the migration of the Polar Front (PF) over the Iberian margin during some of the cold climatic extremes of the last 45 ka.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed, high-resolution stratigraphic analysis of the Mediterranean Outflow contourite system at the continental slope of the Gulf of Cadiz has been carried out through the correlation between a dense network of seismic reflection profiles (sparker, airgun, 3.75 kHz and parametric echosounder), Calypso giant piston and standard gravity cores.

TL;DR: The Mediterranean outflow water (MOW) paleocirculation during the last 50,000 years has been inferred from the grain-size distribution of contourite beds in core MD99-2341 from the Gulf of Cadiz (Southern Iberian Margin-Atlantic Ocean) as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: This first attempt to apply the AMBI formula on benthic foraminiferal data shows promising results, but there is a need to assign more species by obtaining data from studies along wide organic carbon pressure gradients, particularly from the southern North Sea and southwards.
