Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation of the last 150,000 years: Relationship to climate and atmospheric CO2

TL;DR: The high-resolution δ18O and δ13C records of benthic foraminifera from a 150,000-year long core from the Caribbean Sea indicate that there was generally high Δ13C during glaciations and low Δ13c during interglaciations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

U/Th and 14C ages of corals from Barbados and their use for calibrating the 14C time scale beyond 9000 years B.P.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermal ionization mass spectrometer (VG Micromass 30) was used for the U/Th and 14C ages on the Holocene samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for Oligocene–Middle Miocene abyssal circulation changes in the western North Atlantic

TL;DR: The Oligocene to Middle Miocene δ13C record shows three cycles of enrichment and depletion of large enough magnitude to be useful for time-stratigraphical correlations as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glacial‐interglacial history of Antarctic Intermediate Water: Relative strengths of Antarctic versus Indian Ocean sources

TL;DR: Sediment cores from the southern continental margin of Australia are near the formation region of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and Subantarctic Mode Water and record the changes in these water masses from the last glacial maximum through the present as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uranium-234 anomalies in corals older than 150,000 years

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented new precise U-Th ages of well-preserved coral specimens collected from the island of Barbados, West Indies, and the atoll of Mururoa, French Polynesia.
