A Pliocene‐Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ18O records

LE Lisiecki, ME Raymo - Paleoceanography, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Regional and global sea-surface temperatures during the last interglaciation

JS Hoffman, PU Clark, AC Parnell, F He - Science, 2017 - science.org
The last interglaciation (LIG, 129 to 116 thousand years ago) was the most recent time in

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 …

Relation of sortable silt grain-size to deep-sea current speeds: Calibration of the 'Mud Current Meter'

IN McCave, DJR Thornalley, IR Hall - Deep Sea Research Part I …, 2017 - Elsevier
Fine grain-size parameters have been used for inference of palaeoflow speeds of near-
