Collapse and rapid resumption of Atlantic meridional circulation linked to deglacial climate changes

TL;DR: It is found that the meridional overturning was nearly, or completely, eliminated during the coldest deglacial interval in the North Atlantic region, beginning with the catastrophic iceberg discharge Heinrich event H1, 17,500’yr ago, and declined sharply but briefly into the Younger Dryas cold event, about 12,700 yr ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

North Atlantic thermohaline circulation during the past 20,000 years linked to high-latitude surface temperature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that during a surface cooling event 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, higher Cd/Ca and lower 13C/12C ratios are observed in benthic foraminifera shells from rapidly accumulating western North Atlantic sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Atlantic and Pacific paleochemical records for the last 215,000 years : changes in deep ocean circulation and chemical inventories

TL;DR: In this article, detailed Cd/Ca and δ 13 C data have been obtained for benthic foraminifera from western North Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific sediment cores, which indicate that bottom waters overlying the Atlantic site have been nutrient depleted relative to those at the Pacific site over the last 215,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of the Isthmus of Panama

TL;DR: An exhaustive review and reanalysis of geological, paleontological, and molecular records converge upon a cohesive narrative of gradually emerging land and constricting seaways, with formation of the Isthmus of Panama sensu stricto around 2.8 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sudden changes in North Atlantic circulation during the last deglaciation

TL;DR: Sudden changes in the flow of warm Atlantic surface waters into the Norwegian Sea occurred frequently during the last deglaciation, typically involving shifts in sea surface temperature of ⩾5 °C in fewer than 40 years as discussed by the authors.
