Paleoceanographic and climatic teleconnections between the subarctic and subtropical North Atlantic during the last interglacial (MIS 5e)
The last interglacial, MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 5e, lasting from about ~129 to 116 ka, holds important implications for the projected global warming, as this geological interval is believed to have been significantly warmer-than-preindustrial. This thesis refines the current understanding of the M...

The last interglacial, MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 5e, lasting from about ~129 to 116 ka, holds important implications for the projected global warming, as this geological interval is believed to have been significantly warmer-than-preindustrial. This thesis refines the current understanding of the MIS 5e paleoceanography in the subarctic and subtropical North Atlantic, providing new insights into ice-sheets dynamics and cross-latitudinal climatic teleconnections. For this purpose, a multi-proxy dataset comprising stable isotope compositions, foraminiferal assemblages and lithic as well as X-ray fluorescence data was produced using marine sediments from the Nordic Seas and the Bahama region. Several lines of evidence from the Nordic Seas suggest a strong sea surface freshening that persisted in the region until mid-MIS 5e (~125 ka).
