“…Good signal agreement exists between the Mediterranean and Red Sea records, except during the sharply delineated Mediterranean sapropel intervals. In those intervals, freshwater-induced low-d 18 O surface-water conditions (e.g., Rohling et al, 2002Rohling et al, , 2004 yield spurious (high) sealevel extremes in the Mediterranean reconstruction ( Fig. 2b and Fig.…”

Arctic ice shelf Last Interglacial Glacioisostatic adjustment a b s t r a c t Studies of past glacial cycles yield critical information about climate and sea-level (ice-volume) variability, including the sensitivity of climate to radiative change, and impacts of crustal rebound on sealevel reconstructions for past interglacials. Here we identify significant differences between the last and penultimate glacial maxima (LGM and PGM) in terms of global volume and distribution of land ice, despite similar temperatures and radiative forcing. Our analysis challenges conventional views of relationships between global ice volume, sea level, seawater oxygen isotope values, and deep-sea temperature, and supports the potential presence of large floating Arctic ice shelves during the PGM. The existence of different glacial 'modes' calls for focussed research on the complex processes behind ice-age development. We present a glacioisostatic assessment to demonstrate how a different PGM ice-sheet configuration might affect sea-level estimates for the last interglacial. Results suggest that this may alter existing last interglacial sea-level estimates, which often use an LGM-like ice configuration, by several metres (likely upward).

“…4). All these species are indicative of warm water and oligotrophic conditions (Bé and Hutson, 1977;Hemleben et al, 1989;Hilbrecht, 1996) with the exception of G. puncticulata, which is assumed to be a mixed layer species that profilerates in temperate regions during winter similar to its living relative Globorotalia inflata (Bé and Hutson, 1977;Rohling et al, 2004). However, the occurrence of G. puncticulata in association with the warm water species G. ruber and G. obliquus suggests that G. puncticulata throve under slightly higher temperatures than modern G. inflata as suggested by Kennett and Srinivasan (1983) and Loubere and Moss (1986).…”

Astronomically tuned high-resolution climatic proxy records across marine oxygen isotope stage 100 (MIS100) from the Italian Monte San Nicola section and ODP Leg 160 Hole 967A are presented. These records reveal a complex pattern of climate fluctuations on both Milankovitch and sub-Milankovitch timescales that oppose or reinforce one another. Planktonic and benthic foraminiferal d18 O records of San Nicola depict distinct stadial and interstadial phases superimposed on the saw-tooth pattern of this glacial stage. The duration of the stadial-interstadial alterations closely resembles that of the Late Pleistocene Bond cycles. In addition, both isotopic and foraminiferal records of San Nicola reflect rapid changes on timescales comparable to that of the Dansgard-Oeschger (D-O) cycles of the Late Pleistocene. During stadial intervals winter surface cooling and deep convection in the Mediterranean appeared to be more intense, probably as a consequence of very cold winds entering the Mediterranean from the Atlantic or the European continent.The high-frequency climate variability is less clear at Site 967, indicating that the eastern Mediterranean was probably less sensitive to surface water cooling and the influence of the Atlantic climate system. Concomitant changes in the colour reflectance of ODP Site 967 and the calcium carbonate record of San Nicola probably indicate that part of the high-frequency climate variability (3-5 kyr) in the eastern Mediterranean is related to changes in Saharan dust supply. Evidently, enhanced dust deposition in the Mediterranean correlates with the cold intervals of the millennial-scale D-O oscillations suggesting that the Atlantic pressure system may have played a critical role in varying the wind strength and/or aridification of northern Africa.

“…Several hypotheses have been formulated for the development of bottom anoxia in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, mainly linked to higher productivity levels and the weakening/interruption of deep water formation (Rohling, 1994;Cramp and O'Sullivan, 1999). In any case, the exceptional African Monsoon activity, and the consequent strong Nile (and other presently buried North African) river runoff, was a prime forcing factor of this phenomenon (Rossignol-Strick, 1983, 1985Hilgen, 1991;Lourens et al, 1996;Rohling et al, 2002aRohling et al, , 2004Marino et al, 2007Marino et al, , 2009). Thus, the two peaks of G. quadrilobatus may be an indirect response to the tropical climate influence.…”

The Middle Pleistocene Transition (1.2-0.7 Ma) is the most recent re-organization of the global climate system which includes variations in the frequency and amplitude of glacial/interglacial cycles, increased ice sheet volume, sea surface temperature cooling and a significant drop in the CO 2 atmospheric levels. Here we present high-resolution planktonic foraminifera data (mean sampling resolution of about 780 years) from core LC10 recovered in the Ionian Sea (eastern Mediterranean), between 1.2 and 0.9 Ma. Selected taxa, among them G. ruber, T. quinqueloba and G. bulloides, show significant periodicities that can be associated to orbital cycles, mainly precession and obliquity. The planktonic foraminifera based paleoclimatic curve exhibits a cooling linear trend that can be associated to similar phenomena observed in the North Atlantic. On the other hand, we refer to the influence of the North African Monsoon the occurrence of two peaks of the low-salinity tolerant species G. quadrilobatus that fall in coincidence of sapropel layers. Finally, we discuss the distribution pattern of N. pachyderma sinistral coiling, with peaks up to about 20% between MIS 30 and 28, and compare it to middle-late Quaternary records of the Sicily Channel and western Mediterranean.
