Iron fertilisation and biogeochemical cycles in the sub-Arctic 
northwest Pacific during the late Pliocene intensification 
of northern hemisphere glaciation.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Increases in the low-field mass-specific magnetic susceptibility (X), 
dropstones and the terrigenous sediment component from Ocean Drilling 
Program (ODP) Site 882 (~45°N) have been interpreted to indicate a 
major onset of ice-rafting to the sub-Arctic northwest Pacific Ocean 
during marine isotope stage (MIS) G6 (from ~2.75 Ma). In contrast, 
studies of the terrigenous content of sediments cored downwind of 
ODP Site 882 indicate that dust and disseminated volcanic ash 
deposition in the sub-Arctic Pacific increased markedly during MIS G6. 
To investigate the relative contribution of dust, volcanic ash and ice 
rafting to the Pliocene X increase, we present new high-resolution 
environmental magnetic and ice-rafted debris records from ODP Sites 
882 and 885. Our results demonstrate that the X increase at both sites 
across MIS G6 is predominantly controlled by a previously overlooked 
mixture of aeolian dust and volcanic ash. Our findings call into 
question the reliability of X as a proxy for ice-rafting to the North 
Pacific. They also highlight a previously undocumented link between 
iron fertilisation and biogeochemical cycling in the North Pacific 
at a key stage during intensification of late Pliocene northern 
hemisphere glaciation. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: Coarse lithic and diatom stable silicon isotope data 
for the Plio-Pleistocene from ODP Site 882A, determined 
using grain counts and a Finnigan MAT 253 stable isotope 
ratio mass spectrometre (using step-wise fluorination, 
with silicon collected as SiF4), respectively. 

ODP Site 882 lithic count data: 
Coarse lithic (&gt;150um) abundance and flux estimates. 
Data reported as lithics and lithics plus fresh volcanic 
glass. Coarse lithic fluxes were calculated following 
Peck et al. (2007). Sedimentation rates were estimated from 
the Site 882 astronomical age model (Tiedemann and Haug, 1995) 
and shipboard derived dry-bulk density and GRAPE data. 

ODP Site 882 diatom isotopes: 
d30Si diatom measurements (n=30) for the interval ~2.85-2.55 Ma 
at ODP Site 882. Diatoms were extracted using existing techniques 
with analysed (75-150um) fractions dominated by two taxa; 
Coscinodiscus marginatus (Ehrenb.) and C. radiatus (Ehrenb.) 
(Swann, 2010). d30Sidiatom was analysed using step-wise 
fluorination at the NERC Isotope Geosciences Laboratory, U.K.,  	   
with silicon collected as SiF4. Measurements were made on a 
Finnigan MAT 253 stable isotope ratio mass spectrometre with 
values corrected using NIGL within-run laboratory diatom standard 
BFCmod against NBS28 (Leng and Sloane, 2008).
