Glacial-interglacial changes in global and regional temperature have been linked to changes in insolation, winds, and ocean circulation. This study reconstructs sea surface temperature (SST) and source water provenance across the last deglaciation (~30-5 kyr BP) in five sediment cores in the Bay of...
