Penultimate and last glacial oceanographic variations in the Bering Sea on millennial timescales: Links to North Atlantic climate
Highlights • Mid-MIS 6 changes resemble Dansgaard-Oeschger variability during MIS 3. • Both Termination I and II demonstrate similar two-step-like character. • Sea surface bioproductivity was higher during MIS 6 than during MIS 4-2. • Bottom-water conditions were less stable during MIS 6 than during...
