Mineral magnetic measurements are used to distinguish ice-rafted debris (IRD) sources and climate cycles spanning Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 and MIS2 in core MD95-2006, from the Barra Fan, NE Atlantic. Distinct magnetic properties are displayed by IRD from the Laurentide ice sheet (LIS) (high susc...
