Penultimate and last glacial oceanographic variations in the Bering Sea on millennial timescales: Links to North Atlantic climate
We present high-resolution multi-proxy records from a marine sediment core (SO201-2-85KL) from the western Bering Sea to assess orbital- and millennial-scale paleoceanographic conditions during two last glacial intervals, including both terminations. Based on changes in foraminiferal assemblages, gr...
