A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates
Gerard C. Bond,William J. Showers,Maziet Cheseby,Rusty Lotti,Peter Almasi,Peter B deMenocal,Paul Priore,Heidi Cullen,Irka Hajdas,Georges Bonani +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene
Gerard C. Bond,Bernd Kromer,Juerg Beer,Raimund Muscheler,Michael N. Evans,William J. Showers,Sharon Hoffmann,Rusty Lotti-Bond,Irka Hajdas,Georges Bonani +9 more
TL;DR: A solar forcing mechanism therefore may underlie at least the Holocene segment of the North Atlantic's “1500-year” cycle, potentially providing an additional mechanism for amplifying the solar signals and transmitting them globally.
Book ChapterDOI
The North Atlantic's 1‐2 Kyr Climate Rhythm: Relation to Heinrich Events, Dansgaard/Oeschger Cycles and the Little Ice Age

Journal ArticleDOI
Primary productivity and particle fluxes on a transect of the equator at 153°W in the Pacific Ocean
Peter R. Betzer,William J. Showers,Edward A. Laws,Christopher D. Winn,Giacomo R. DiTullio,Peter M Kroopnick +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a free-drifting sediment trap deployed at 900 m at four stations in the Pacific Ocean between 12°N and 6°S at 153°W.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen isotope partitioning between phosphate and carbonate in mammalian apatite
TL;DR: This paper used coupled measurements of the oxygen isotope composition of structural carbonate and phosphate from horse tooth enamel, and estimated the apparent fractionation factor between structural carbonates and body water is 1.0263 ± 0.0014.
