Global and Local Sea Level During the Last Interglacial: A Probabilistic Assessment
The Last Interglacial (LIG) stage (ca. 130 115 ka), with polar temperatures likely 3 5◦C warmer than today, serves as a partial analogue for low-end future warming scenarios. Multiple indicators suggest that LIG global sea level (GSL) was higher than at present; based upon a small set of local sea level indicators, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s Fourth Assessment Report ...
متن کاملDetection of a dynamic topography signal in last interglacial sea-level records
Estimating minimum ice volume during the last interglacial based on local sea-level indicators requires that these indicators are corrected for processes that alter local sea level relative to the global average. Although glacial isostatic adjustment is generally accounted for, global scale dynamic changes in topography driven by convective mantle flow are generally not considered. We use numer...
متن کاملLate Quaternary fluctuations of biogenic component fluxes on the continental slope of the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A sediment core, collected from the western part of the continental slope of the Ross Sea at 2380 m water depth, records Ž . 230 events of the last two climatic cycles 250 kyr . A Th -based chronology was obtained and boundaries of the isotope ex stages were set assuming that biological productivity was enhanced during periods of less ice cover. Then, Th0 , organic ex carbon, biogenic silica an...
متن کاملReconstruction of Oceanographic Changes Based on the Diatom Records of the Central Okhotsk Sea over the last 500000 Years
This study provides insight into changes in sea ice conditions and the oceanographic environment over the past 500 kyr through analysis of the diatom record. Based on the relative abundance of 13 diatoms species in piston core MD012414, four types of environmental conditions in the central Okhotsk Sea over the last 330 ka BP have been distinguished: (1) open-ocean alternating with seasonal sea-...
متن کاملTiming and warmth of the Last Interglacial period: new U-series evidence from Hawaii and Bermuda and a new fossil compilation for North America
The timing and duration of the Last Interglacial period have been controversial, with some studies suggesting a relatively short duration that is orbitally forced and others suggesting a long duration that is at most only partly related to orbital forcing. New, high-precison thermal ionization mass spectrometric (TIMS) U-series ages of Last Interglacial corals from Hawaii and Bermuda test these...
