Could meltwater pulses have been sneaked unnoticed into the deep ocean during the last glacial?
International audience The lack of climatic imprint left by the Meltwater Pulse-1A ('14.5 ka BP), equivalent to a sea-level rise of 14 to 20 meters, is puzzling. Recent studies suggest the event might have occurred as a hyperpycnal flow in the Gulf of Mexico, preventing its detection in oceanic...
