Past changes in ocean circulation at intermediate water depth in the Atlantic Ocean from micropaleontological and geochemical study of marine sediment cores since the Last Glacial Maximum
Intermediate water circulation is a key player in global ocean circulation and contributes to the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which plays a fundamental role in climate regulation. However, the ocean dynamics at intermediate depths since the Last Glacial Maxi...

Intermediate water circulation is a key player in global ocean circulation and contributes to the variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which plays a fundamental role in climate regulation. However, the ocean dynamics at intermediate depths since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains controversial and still needs to be constrained, in particular to better understand the relationships between the Atlantic Ocean and the Southern Ocean at the glacial-interglacial scale as well as during shorter climatic events that notably punctuated the Last Deglaciation (cold events of Heinrich Stadial 1, HS1 and Younger Dryas, YD). The objective of this thesis is to reconstruct the evolution of the circulation at intermediate water depth from the LGM from marine sediment cores taken from the Iberian margin (SU92-28, 997m) and north of the Porcupine bank (MD01-2461, 1153m). These sites are ideally located to reconstruct the variations in the contribution of intermediate water masses from the North and South of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.
