The Enigma of Oxygen Isotope Stage 5 in the Central Fram Strait

A stable oxygen isotope stratigraphy for the last 150.000 yr is established in sedimentary cores from the central Fram Strait. Radiometric ages obtained by the U/Th method in one core provide an absolute time framework for the oxygen isotope stratigraphy. The oxygen isotope record from substage 5a i...
