TLDR

Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

FIG. 11. (a) Chronology in the stacked isotope record resulting from the pure components tuning approach. (b) Correlation between stacked isotope record (bold) and pure components tuning target (light).

FIG. 17. Final chronology as it appears in the stacked oxygen-isotope record obtained by transferring the results of Figure 15 from RCll-120 using the mapping function of Figure 12. Error envelope has average magnitude of 5000 yr.

FIG. IS. Final chronology (as it appears in RCII-120) based on average of four results presented in Figure 14. Error envelope has average magnitude of 3500 yr. Error associated with standard deviation of the four individual results about this average is -C 2500 yr.

Evidence for general instability of past climate from a 250-kyr ice-core record

Willi Dansgaard, +11 more

- 15 Jul 1993 -

Nature

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed stable isotope record for the full length of the Greenland Ice-core Project Summit ice core, extending over the past 250 kyr according to a calculated timescale, and find that climate instability was not confined to the last glaciation, but appears also have been marked during the last interglacial (as explored more fully in a companion paper), and during the previous Saale-Holstein glacial cycle.

Quaternary Science Reviews

TL;DR: In this article, new values for the astronomical parameters of the Earth's orbit and rotation (eccentricity, obliquity and precession) are proposed for paleoclimatic research related to the Late Miocene, the Pliocene and the Quaternary.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates

Gerard C. Bond, +9 more

- 14 Nov 1997 -

Science

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.

Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene

Gerard C. Bond, +9 more

- 07 Dec 2001 -

Science

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.

Correlations between climate records from North Atlantic sediments and Greenland ice

Gerard C. Bond, +8 more

- 09 Sep 1993 -

Nature

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present records of sea surface temperature from North Atlantic sediments spanning the past 90 kyr which contain a series of rapid temperature oscillations closely matching those in the ice-core record, confirming predictions that the ocean must bear the imprint of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events.

Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages

James D. Hays, +2 more

- 10 Dec 1976 -

Science

TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in the earth's orbital geometry are the fundamental cause of the succession of Quaternary ice ages and a model of future climate based on the observed orbital-climate relationships, but ignoring anthropogenic effects, predicts that the long-term trend over the next sevem thousand years is toward extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Quaternary Research

TL;DR: The core Vema 28-238 as discussed by the authors preserves an excellent oxygen isotope and magnetic stratigraphy and is shown to contain undisturbed sediments deposited continuously through the past 870,000 yr.

Modeling the Climatic Response to Orbital Variations

John Imbrie, +1 more

- 29 Feb 1980 -

Science

TL;DR: This article summarizes how the theory has evolved since the pioneer studies of James Croll and Milutin Milankovitch, reviews recent evidence that supports the theory, and argues that a major opportunity is at hand to investigate the physical mechanisms by which the climate system responds to orbital forcing.
