Sea-Level Estimates during the Last Deglaciation Based on δ 18 O and Accelerator Mass Spectrometry 14 C Ages Measured in Globigerina bulloides
International audience Abstract Coupled measurements of δ 18 O and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C in a particular species of planktonic foraminifera may be used to calculate sea-level estimates for the last deglaciation. Of critical importance for this type of study is a knowledge of the s...

International audience Abstract Coupled measurements of δ 18 O and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C in a particular species of planktonic foraminifera may be used to calculate sea-level estimates for the last deglaciation.
