TL;DR: The results suggest that the MPT was initiated by an abrupt increase in Antarctic ice volume 900 thousand years ago, and reveal the contributions of ice volume and temperature to glacial cycles, suggest when and why the Mid-Pleistocene Climate Transition occurred, and clarify how carbon is lost from the ocean-atmosphere during deglaciations but also changes because of ocean circulation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the four longest European pollen records were linked and a terrestrial sequence of vegetation events and a coherent stratigraphic scheme for the last 500,000 years was derived, showing that the pollen sequences contain a higher degree of climate sensitivity than the oxygen isotope record.

TL;DR: In this article, a chronological framework is developed for long and continuous pollen sequences from southern Europe, which allows the emergence of a complete stratigraphical scheme of major vegetation events for the last 430 thousand years and evaluation of the stage record of different taxa and their potential diagnostic value for biostratigraphical correlation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the sensitivity to temperature of Mg/Ca ratios in the shallow-infaunal benthic foraminifera Uvigerina spp. has been assessed.

TL;DR: This article reported 420?kyr long records of sediment geochemical and color variations from the southwestern Iberian Margin and investigated the phase responses relative to orbital forcing of multiple proxy records available from these cores.
