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.

Early and Middle Miocene stable isotopes: Implications for Deepwater circulation and climate

TL;DR: In this article, a time series and time slice reconstructions indicate that NCW and Tethyan outflow water, two relatively warm deepwater masses, were produced from ∼20 to 16 Ma.

The late Pleistocene palaeoclimatic record of North Atlantic deep-sea sediments revealed by mineral-magnetic measurements

TL;DR: In this article, eight cores of North Atlantic deep-sea sediment are correlated using simple, rapid, and non-destructive measurements of magnetic susceptibility and isothermal remanence.

The Geomorphology of the Great Barrier Reef: Development, Diversity and Change

TL;DR: This paper reviewed the history of geomorphological studies of the Great Barrier Reef and assessed the influences of sea-level change and oceanographic processes on the development of reefs over the last 10,000 years.

Benthic foraminiferal δ13C and accumulation rates of organic carbon: Uvigerina Peregrina group and Cibicidoides Wuellerstorfi

TL;DR: Foraminifera Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi and the Uvigerina peregrina group from deep-sea cores cannot be adjusted by a generally valid constant as discussed by the authors.

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

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.
