The middle Pleistocene transition: characteristics, mechanisms, and implications for long-term changes in atmospheric pCO2
The emergence of low-frequency, high-amplitude, quasi-periodic (∼ 100-kyr) glacial
variability during the middle Pleistocene in the absence of any significant change in orbital …

Pleistocene sea-surface temperature evolution: Early cooling, delayed glacial intensification, and implications for the mid-Pleistocene climate transition
The mid-Pleistocene climate transition (MPT) is defined by the emergence of high amplitude,
quasi-100ka glacial–interglacial cycles from a prior regime of more subtle 41kacycles. This …

A Pliocene‐Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ18O records
We present a 5.3‐Myr stack (the “LR04” stack) of benthic δ18O records from 57 globally
distributed sites aligned by an automated graphic correlation algorithm. This is the first …

Icebergs not the trigger for North Atlantic cold events
Abrupt climate change is a ubiquitous feature of the Late Pleistocene epoch. In particular,
the sequence of Dansgaard–Oeschger events (repeated transitions between warm …

Regional and global benthic δ18O stacks for the last glacial cycle
LE Lisiecki, JV Stern - Paleoceanography, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Although detailed age models exist for some marine sediment records of the last glacial
cycle (0–150 ka), age models for many cores rely on the stratigraphic correlation of benthic …

The environmental context for the origins of modern human diversity: a synthesis of regional variability in African climate 150,000–30,000 years ago
We synthesize African paleoclimate from 150 to 30 ka (thousand years ago) using 85
diverse datasets at a regional scale, testing for coherence with North Atlantic …

Onset of “Hudson Strait” Heinrich events in the eastern North Atlantic at the end of the middle Pleistocene transition (∼ 640 ka)?
Heinrich events are well documented for the last glaciation, but little is known about their
occurrence in older glacial periods of the Pleistocene. Here we report scanning XRF and …
