Comparing proxies for the reconstruction of LGM sea-surface conditions in the northern North Atlantic

TLDR
In this article, sea-surface conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 23-19-ka) were reconstructed using different proxies, which were calibrated to a standardized modern hydrography.

Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene Climate in CCSM3

TL;DR: In this paper, the climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is studied for two past climate forcings, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the mid-Holocene.

Constraints on the magnitude and patterns of ocean cooling at the Last Glacial Maximum

Claire Waelbroeck, +51 more
- 18 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: This article presented an updated synthesis of sea surface temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum, rigorously defined as the period between 23 and 19 thousand years before present, from the Multiproxy Approach for the Reconstruction of the Glacial Ocean Surface (MARGO) project.

Interglacials of the last 800,000 years

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify eleven interglacials in the last 800,000 years, a result that is robust to alternative definitions, such as the onset of an interglacial (glacial termination) seems to require a reducing precession parameter (increasing Northern Hemisphere summer insolation), but this condition alone is insufficient.

Links between iron supply, marine productivity, sea surface temperature, and CO2 over the last 1.1 Ma

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new multiproxy data set of sea surface temperatures (SST), dust and iron supply, and marine export productivity from the marine sediment core PS2489-2/ODP Site 1090 located in the subantarctic Atlantic, that allow them to evaluate various hypotheses on the role of the Southern Ocean (SO) in modulating atmospheric CO2 concentrations back to 11 Ma.

Position of the Polar Front along the western Iberian margin during key cold episodes of the last 45 ka

TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of robust and coherent paleohydrological proxies obtained from eleven cores distributed between 36 and 42°N was used to track the migration of the Polar Front (PF) over the Iberian margin during some of the cold climatic extremes of the last 45 ka.

GLOBAL GLACIAL ISOSTASY AND THE SURFACE OF THE ICE-AGE EARTH: The ICE-5G (VM2) Model and GRACE

TL;DR: The impact of the changing surface ice load upon both Earth's shape and gravitational field, as well as upon sea-level history, have come to be measurable using a variety of geological and geophysical techniques.

The Scientific Basis

TL;DR: In this paper, the topology of the tetrahedral linkage and the efficiency of space filling are compared for the various polymorphs of SiO2, and the displacive transformations from a more open high-temperature form (e.g., "high" or "h") to a denser form stable at lower temperatures (α quartz or cristobalite) are discussed.

Collapse and rapid resumption of Atlantic meridional circulation linked to deglacial climate changes

TL;DR: It is found that the meridional overturning was nearly, or completely, eliminated during the coldest deglacial interval in the North Atlantic region, beginning with the catastrophic iceberg discharge Heinrich event H1, 17,500’yr ago, and declined sharply but briefly into the Younger Dryas cold event, about 12,700 yr ago.

Evidence for massive discharges of icebergs into the North Atlantic ocean during the last glacial period

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present evidence that the most recent six Heinrich layers, deposited between 14,000 and 70,000 years ago, record marked decreases in sea surface temperature and salinity, decreases in the flux of planktonic foraminifera to the sediments, and short-lived, massive discharges of icebergs originating in eastern Canada.
