Deglacial abrupt climate change in the Atlantic Warm Pool: 
A Gulf of Mexico perspective. 
Paleoceanography, 25, PA4221, doi:10.1029/2010PA001928 
</Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>During the last deglaciation, Greenland ice core and North Atlantic 
sediment records exhibit multiple abrupt climate events including 
the Younger Dryas cold episode (12.9-11.7 ka). However, evidence 
for the presence of the Younger Dryas in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) 
and the relationship between GOM sea surface temperature (SST) 
and high-latitude climate change is less clear. We present new 
Mg/Ca-SST records from two varieties of the planktonic foraminifer 
Globigerinoides ruber (white and pink) to assess northern GOM SST 
history from approximately 18.4-10.8 ka. Thirty-five accelerator 
mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C dates from Orca Basin core MD02-2550 
provide excellent age control and document high sedimentation rates 
(~40 cm/kyr). G. ruber (white and pink) Mg/Ca-SST data exhibit 
increases (~4.6 ± 0.6°C and ~2.2 ± 0.5°C, respectively) from at 
least 17.8-16.6 ka, with nearly decadal resolution that are early 
relative to the onset of the Bolling-Allerod interstadial. Moreover, 
G. ruber (white) SST decreases at 16.0-14.7 ka (~1.0 ± 0.5°C) and 
12.8-11.6 ka (~2.4 ± 0.6°C) correlate to the Oldest and Younger 
Dryas in Greenland and Cariaco Basin. The G. ruber (pink) SST record, 
which reflects differences in seasonality and/or depth habitat, 
is often not in phase with G. ruber (white) and closely resembles 
Antarctic air temperature records. Overall, it appears that 
Orca Basin SST records follow Antarctic air temperature early 
in the deglacial sequence and exhibit enhanced seasonality during 
Greenland stadials.
