Relative Timing of Deglacial Climate Events in Antarctica and Greenland.
Science, Vol. 297, pp.1862-1864. 
DOI: 10.1126/science.1074257</Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The last deglaciation was marked by large, hemispheric, millennial-scale 
climate variations: the Bølling-Allerød and Younger Dryas periods in the 
north, and the Antarctic Cold Reversal in the south. A chronology from 
the high-accumulation Law Dome East Antarctic ice core constrains the 
relative timing of these two events and provides strong evidence that 
the cooling at the start of the Antarctic Cold Reversal did not follow 
the abrupt warming during the northern Bølling transition around 14,500 
years ago. This result suggests that southern changes are not a direct 
response to abrupt changes in North Atlantic thermohaline circulation, 
as is assumed in the conventional picture of a hemispheric temperature 
seesaw.  
          STUDY NOTES: Oxygen isotope data of air and ice plus air methane concentration 
for the last deglacial period, from the Law Dome ice core, Antarctica.
