Recent cores from Santa Barbara Basin provide ~2500–5700 year “windows” of climate with ~10–50 year resolution. Ages for three cores, determined by seismic stratigraphic correlation, oxygen isotope stratigraphy, and biostratigraphy, date to ~293 ka (MIS 8), ~450 ka (MIS 12), and ~735 ka (MIS 18). These records sample the Late Pleistocene, during which the 100 kyr cycle strengthened and the magnitude of glacial-interglacial cyclicity increased. Thus, these records provide a test of the dependence of millennial-scale behavior on variations in glacial-interglacial cyclicity. The stable isotopic (d18O) composition of planktonic foraminifera shows millennial-scale variability in all three intervals, with similar characteristics (duration, cyclicity) to those previously documented during MIS 3 at this site. Stadial G. bulloides d18O values are 2.75–1.75‰ (average 2.25‰) and interstadial values are 1.75–0.5‰ (average 1‰), with rapid (decadal-scale) interstadial and stadial initiations of 1-2‰, as in MIS 3. Interstadials lasted ~250–1600 years and occurred every ~650–1900 years. Stadial paleotemperatures were 3.5–9.5°C and interstadial paleotemperatures were 7.5–13°C. Upwelling, evidenced by planktonic foraminiferal assemblages and d13C, increased during interstadials, similar to MIS 3; high productivity during some stadials was reminiscent of the Last Glacial Maximum. This study builds upon previous records in showing that millennial-scale shifts were an inherent feature of Northern Hemisphere glacial climates since 735 ka, and they remained remarkably constant in the details of their amplitude, cyclicity, and temperature variability. #--------------------------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: US National Science Foundation # Grant: OCE-0825322, OCE-0350573 #--------------------------------------- # Site Information # Site_Name: MV0508-11JPC # Location: Santa Barbara Basin # Country: USA # Northernmost_Latitude: 34.25 # Southernmost_Latitude: 34.25 # Easternmost_Longitude: -119.76 # Westernmost_Longitude: -119.76 # Elevation: -176.7 #--------------------------------------- # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: 11JPC bulloides White13 # First_Year: 295000 # Last_Year: 290500 # Time_Unit: cal yr BP # Core_Length: 4.58 # Notes: Ages are approximate - see White et al 2013 and supplementary online info for details.

Individual cores were placed in a chronostratigraphic framework using seismic stratigraphy in conjunction with well logs and seafloor outcrops; ages were refined using oxygen isotope stratigraphy, biostratigraphic datums, and a radiometrically dated ash layer. The sedimentation rate was used to estimate the length of time captured by each core. See White et al 2013 (including supplementary online info) for details. #--------------------------------------- # Variables # Data variables follow that are preceded by "##" in columns one and two. #
