Diachronous benthic d18O responses during late Pleistocene terminations. 
Paleoceanography, 24, PA3210, doi:10.1029/2009PA001732</Reference>
  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Benthic d18O is often used as a stratigraphic tool to place marine 
records on a common age model and as a proxy for the timing of ice 
volume/sea level change. However, Skinner and Shackleton (2005) 
found that the timing of benthic d18O change at the last termination 
differed by 3900 years between one Atlantic site and one Pacific site. 
These results suggest that benthic d18O change may not always 
accurately record the timing of deglaciation. We compare benthic d18O 
records from 20 Atlantic sites and 14 Pacific sites to evaluate 
systematic differences in the timing of terminations in benthic d18O. 
Analysis of sedimentation rates derived from the alignment of benthic 
d18O suggests a statistically significant Atlantic lead over Pacific 
benthic d18O change during the last six terminations. We estimate an 
average Pacific benthic d18O lag of 1600 years for Terminations 1-5, 
slightly larger than the delay expected from ocean mixing rates 
given that most glacial meltwater probably enters the North Atlantic. 
We additionally find evidence of ~4000-year Pacific d18O lags at 
approximately 128 ka and 330 ka, suggesting that stratigraphic 
correlation of d18O has the potential to generate age model errors 
of several thousand years during terminations. A simple model 
demonstrates that these lags can be generated by diachronous 
temperature changes and do not require slower circulation rates. 
Most importantly, diachronous benthic d18O responses must be taken 
into account when comparing Atlantic and Pacific benthic d18O 
records or when using benthic d18O records as a proxy for 
the timing of ice volume change.  
          STUDY NOTES: Stacked (averaged) benthic foraminineral d18O records from 20 Atlantic 
sites and 14 Pacific sites, covering the past 800,000 years. 

Atlantic records are from ODP sites 980, 982, 983, 984, 552, 607, 
664, 502, 658, 659, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929, 1090, and 1089,
and sites RC13-229, GeoB1041, and GeoB1214. Pacific records are from 
ODP sites 677, 846, 849, 1012, 1020, 806, 1123, 1143, and 1146, 
and sites V19-28, V21-146, PC72, and PC18.</Abstract>
