Rapid climate variability in the North Pacific Ocean during the past 95,000 years

Article Abstract:

There is a resemblance in the oxygen isotope record of the GRIP Greenland ice core and ice-rafted detritus (IRD) found in the North Pacific Ocean, suggesting that the climatic changes in the circum-Atlantic region over the last 95,000 years were a circumpolar occurrence. The IRD sediment cores were analyzed using a Gamma Ray Attenuation Porosity Evaluator. This discovery provides firm evidence of a circumpolar climate system but does not indicate whether climatic links were through the ocean or air temperature fluctuations.
