Pliocene changes in Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) and its potential influence on northern North Atlantic thermohaline circulation prior and during the onset of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation (NHG; 3.7 – 2.6 Ma) were investigated at westernmost Mediterranean Site ODP 978 (1930 m w.d.) and along t...
