TL;DR: Starr et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the 23,000 and 41,000-year cycles of glaciation are continuous, linear responses to orbitally driven changes in the Arctic radiation budget, and used the phase progression in each climatic cycle to identify the main pathways along which the initial, local responses to radiation are propagated by the atmosphere and ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present phase observations showing that the geographic progression of local responses over the 100,000-year cycle is similar to the progression in the other two cycles, implying that a similar set of internal climatic mechanisms operates in all three.

TL;DR: In this article, a sediment-trap study showed that in the Southern Ocean the shell weights of a surface-dwelling single-celled organism with a calcite shell are lower than pre-industrial values, probably as a result of increasing ocean acidity.

TL;DR: Independent estimates of surface-water and deep-water reservoir ages in the New Zealand region since the last glacial period are presented, using volcanic ejecta (tephras) deposited in both marine and terrestrial sediments as stratigraphic markers.

TL;DR: Using a transect of piston cores between 42°S and 48°S at about 90°E, the authors reconstructed the latitudinal distribution of planktonic foraminiferal faunas over the past 500,000 years.
