Obliquity-paced Pliocene West Antarctic ice sheet oscillations

Tim R Naish, +60 more
- 19 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: A marine glacial record from the upper 600 m of the AND-1B sediment core recovered from beneath the northwest part of the Ross ice shelf is presented and well-dated, ∼40-kyr cyclic variations in ice-sheet extent linked to cycles in insolation influenced by changes in the Earth’s axial tilt (obliquity) during the Pliocene are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards a climate event stratigraphy for New Zealand over the past 30 000 years (NZ‐INTIMATE project)

TL;DR: The New Zealand Intimate project as mentioned in this paper has developed an event stratigraphy for the New Zealand region over the past 30 000 years, and to reconcile these events against the established climatostratigraphy of the last glacial cycle which has largely been developed from Northern Hemisphere records.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antarctic and Southern Ocean influences on Late Pliocene global cooling.

TL;DR: Evidence for a major expansion of an ice sheet in the Ross Sea that began at ∼3.3 Ma, followed by a coastal sea surface temperature cooling of ∼2.5 °C, indicates an additional role played by southern high-latitude cooling during development of the bipolar world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse 1A from reduced Southern Ocean overturning

TL;DR: Results reveal several episodes of accelerated ice-sheet recession, the largest being coincident with meltwater pulse 1A, which resulted from reduced Southern Ocean overturning following Heinrich Event 1, when warmer subsurface water thermally eroded grounded marine-based ice and instigated a positive feedback that further acceleratedIce-sheet retreat.
