TLDR
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.About:

Contrasting styles and rates of tectonic uplift of coral reef terraces in the Ryukyu and Daito Islands, southwestern Japan
Yoko Ota,Akio Omura +1 more
TL;DR: Coral reef terraces on the Eurasian lithospheric plate and those of Kita-Daito and Minami-daito on the Philippine Sea plate indicate three distinct patterns of coral reef terrace formation and preservation, primarily reflecting different uplift rates as mentioned in this paper.

Cycladophora davisiana: a stratigraphic tool for Pleistocene North Atlantic and interhemispheric correlation
Joseph J. Morley,James D. Hays +1 more
TL;DR: A study of three North Atlantic cores, containing Radiolaria throughout their length and two correlative volcanic ash layers, shows that the radiolarian speciesCycladophora davisiana goes through important relative abundance changes that appear to be synchronous over an area of more than 300,000 square miles during the late Pleistocene (⋍300,000 years) as discussed by the authors.

Oxygen and Carbon Isotope Stratigraphy of Benthic Foraminifers at Site 397: Detailed History of Climatic Change during the Late Neogene
N.J. Shackleton,M.B. Cita +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors made oxygen and carbon isotopic determinations in monospecific samples of benthic foraminifers from over 200 samples from the upper 500 meters of DSDP Site 397.

The Age and Stratigraphy of Middle Pleistocene and Younger Deposits along the Gulf of Taranto (Southeast Italy)
Paul J. Hearty,Giuseppe Dai Pra +1 more
TL;DR: AAR and radiometric methods have been used to date and correlate 14 coastal sections along 200 km of the Gulf of Taranto as discussed by the authors, which established an absolute age framework for marine transgressions, dune formation and pedogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Quaternary surface ocean kinematics and climatic change in the high-latitude North Atlantic
TL;DR: The late Quaternary earth is characterized by quasi-periodic glacial-interglacial cycles as mentioned in this paper and the North Atlantic polar front is a critical monitor of whether warm saline North Atlantic Drift water flowed into the northeast Atlantic and southeast Norwegian Sea or turned southeastward and was contained within the subtropical gyre.

Revised carbonate-water isotopic temperature scale
TL;DR: The relationship between temperature and O(18) content relative to that for a Cretaceous belemnite of the Pee Dee formation previously reported (Epstein, Buchsbaum, Lowenstam, and Urey, 1951) has been re-determined using modified procedures for removing organic matter from shells, and is found to be 16.5 - 4.3 δ + 0.14 δ^2

Insolation changes, ice volumes, and the O18 record in deep‐sea cores
Wallace S. Broecker,Jan van Donk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed curve of ice volume versus time is needed in order to test the validity of the hypothesis that changes in the earth's orbital parameters are the cause of oscillations in Pleistocene climate.

Oxygen Isotope Analyses and Pleistocene Temperatures Re-assessed
TL;DR: Oxygen isotope analyses of foraminiferal tests in deep-sea cores have been interpreted as showing that the temperature of seawater in the Caribbean and equatorial Atlantic varied by as much as 6°C during glacial cycles as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbonate-water isotopic temperature scale
TL;DR: In this article, a relationship between temperature and relative O 18 abundance in calcium carbonate in marine shells has been determined, where the relative abundance of the water in which the shell grew is known, and the temperature can be determined to an accuracy of ± 1.0°C.
