Palaeoceanographic changes in the North Atlantic during the Mid‐ Pleistocene Transition ( MIS 31–19) as inferred from planktonic foraminiferal and calcium carbonate records
Marine sediments from the I ntegrated O cean D rilling P roject ( IODP ) S ite U 1314 (56.36° N , 27.88° W ), in the subpolar N orth A tlantic, were studied for their planktonic foraminifera, calcium carbonate content, and N eogloboqudrina pachyderma sinistral (sin.) δ 13 C records in order to recon...
