Highly resolved and continuous sea-level records are essential for quantifying ice-volume changes. However, an unbiased study of the timing of past ice-volume changes, relative to polar climate change, has so far been impossible because available sea-level records either were dated by using orbital tuning or ice-core timescales, or were discontinuous in time. Here we present an independent dating of a continuous, high-resolution sea-level record in millennial-scale detail throughout the past 150,000 years. We find that the timing of ice-volume fluctuations agrees well with that of variations in Antarctic climate and especially Greenland climate. Amplitudes of ice-volume fluctuations more closely match Antarctic (rather than Greenland) climate changes. Polar climate and ice-volume changes, and their rates of change, are found to covary within centennial response times. Finally, rates of sea-level rise reached at least 1.2 m per century during all major episodes of ice-volume reduction. # #--------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) # Grant: NE/H004424/1, NE/E01531X/1, NE/I009906/1 #--------------------- # Funding_Agency_Name: Royal Society # Grant: Wolfson Research Merit Award #-------------------- # Funding_Agency_Name: Australian Laureate Fellowship # Grant: FL120100050 #-------------------- # Site_Information # Site_Name: MD81-LC21 # Location: Ocean>Atlantic Ocean>North Atlantic Ocean>Mediterranean Sea # Country: # Northernmost_Latitude: 35.6667 # Southernmost_Latitude: 35.6667 # Easternmost_Longitude: 26.5833 # Westernmost_Longitude: 26.5833 # Elevation: -1522 m #------------------ # Data_Collection # Core_Name: LC21pachy # First_Year: 156732 # Last_Year: 5167 # Time_Unit: Cal Year BP # Core_Length: # Notes: #------------------ # Chronology # # # #------------------ # Variables # # End Description/Documentation (lines begin with #) # Data lines follow (have no #) # Data line variables format: Variables list, one per line, shortname-tab-longname-tab-longname components (9 components: material, error, units, anomaly, period, archive, detail, method, C or N for Character or Numeric data) # Data line format: tab-delimited text, variable short name as header ##
