Sea surface temperature record off central Japan since the Last Glacial Maximum using planktonic foraminiferal Mg/Ca thermometry
Abstract We conducted paired measurements of the Mg/Ca ratio and δ 18 O of planktonic foraminifera, Globigerina bulloides , from a sediment core (MD01‐2420) off central Japan in the northwest Pacific, to reconstruct current movements since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These methods make it possib...
