Palaeoclimatology and palaeohydrography of the glacial stages on Celtic and Armorican margins over the last 360000 yrs
International audience Core MD03-2692 was retrieved in a water-depth of 4064 m on the Celtic margin (Bay of Biscay) during the SEDICAR cruise onboard the RV Marion Dufresne II. It covers the last 360 ka in a total length of 39 m. Multidisciplinary analyses have been applied to this sequence with the...

International audience Core MD03-2692 was retrieved in a water-depth of 4064 m on the Celtic margin (Bay of Biscay) during the SEDICAR cruise onboard the RV Marion Dufresne II.
