The North Atlantic at present is ventilated by overflow of the Denmark Strait, Iceland-Faeroe Ridge, Faeroe Bank Channel, and Wyville-Thompson Ridge. The evolution of Cenozoic abyssal circulation of this region was related to tectonic opening and subsidence of these sills. We used d13C records of th...
