Deglacial sea-level record from Tahiti corals and the timing of global meltwater discharge
Edouard Bard,Edouard Bard,Bruno Hamelin,Maurice Arnold,Lucien F. Montaggioni,Guy Cabioch,G. Faure,Francis Rougerie +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors date fossil corals from Tahiti, which is far from plate boundaries and thus is likely to be tectonically relatively stable, and remote from the locations of large former ice sheets, and reveal that the meltwater pulse coincides with a short and intense climate cooling event that followed the initiation of the Bolling-Allerod warm period.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 13,000-year climate record from western tibet
Françoise Gasse,Maurice Arnold,Jean-Charles Fontes,Monique Fort,E. Gibert,A. Huc,Li Bingyan,Li Yuanfang,Liu Qing,F. Melieres,E. Van Campo,Wang Fubao,Zhang Qingsong +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 13,000-yr record from Sumxi Co (western Tibet), constructed from both lake-core and shoreline studies, shows that conditions in the early-middle Holocene were warmer and wetter than at present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Century-scale events in monsoonal climate over the past 24,000 years
Frank Sirocko,Michael Sarnthein,Helmut Erlenkeuser,Heinz Lange,Maurice Arnold,Jean-Claude Duplessy +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence from a high-resolution record of oxygen isotopes and carbonate spanning the past 24,000 calendar years that the response of the southwest monsoon over the Arabian Sea to long-term, gradual insolation changes occurred in several distinct events of less than 300 years duration, at 14,300, 13,500,13,060, 9,900, 8,800 and 7,30014C yr BP.
Journal ArticleDOI
230Th-234U and 14C Ages Obtained by Mass Spectrometry on Corals
TL;DR: This article used thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) to obtain precise U-Th ages and to compare them with the 14C estimates measured on the same samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiocarbon Calibration by Means of Mass Spectrometric 230Th/234U and 14C Ages of Corals: An Updated Database Including Samples from Barbados, Mururoa and Tahiti
TL;DR: Bard et al. as mentioned in this paper measured 14C and 230Th ages on new samples collected from boreholes drilled off the islands of Tahiti and Mururoa (French Polynesia) in order to complement the database previously obtained on Barbados corals.
