Tracing the Nd isotope evolution of North Pacific Intermediate and Deep Waters through the last deglaciation from South China Sea sediments
The intermediate and deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a crucial role for regulating global climate changes on the millennium timescale. However, due to poor preservation of carbonate sediments in the deep Pacific, little attention has been received to better understand deep ocean circulation an...

The intermediate and deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a crucial role for regulating global climate changes on the millennium timescale. However, due to poor preservation of carbonate sediments in the deep Pacific, little attention has been received to better understand deep ocean circulation and its relationship with abrupt climate events. Here we present the first authigenic Nd isotope (epsilon(Nd)) record extracted from Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides of the South China Sea (SCS) sediments (S017940-2, 1727 m water depth) in order to investigate changes of intermediate and deep-water circulations in the Pacific Ocean since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).In general, the seawater epsilon(Nd) record extracted from the SCS sediments paralleled the existing Nd isotopes of fish teeth/debris from the eastern North Pacific core during the last deglaciation, demonstrating that our authigenic epsilon(Nd) can faithfully record the seawater sNd evolution in the deep Pacific Ocean. At the onset of the deglacial period, our data exhibit a clear negative shift in epsilon(Nd) towards a gradually increased component of Antarctica Intermediate Water (AAIW) and reached a maximal influx during the mid Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1, similar to 16 kyr BP).
