Antarctic deglacial pattern in a 30 kyr record of sea surface

ABSTRACT:
Comparison of ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica shows 
an asynchronous two-step warming at these high latitudes 
during the Last Termination. However, the question whether 
this asynchrony extends to lower latitudes is unclear mainly 
due to the scarcity of paleorecords from the Southern Hemisphere. 
New data from a marine core collected off South Australia (~36şS)
allows a detailed reconstruction of sea-surface temperatures
over the Last Termination. This confirms the existence of an
Antarctic-type deglacial pattern and shows no indication of
cooling associated with the Northern Hemisphere YD event.
The SST record also provides a new comparison with the more 
extensive paleoclimatic data available from continental Australia. 
This shows a strong climatic link between onshore and offshore 
records for Australia and to Southern Hemisphere paleorecords. 
We also show a progressive SST drop over the last ~6.5 kyr 
not seen before for the Australian region. 


GEOGRAPHIC REGION: Southern Ocean offshore South Australia
