We investigate the long‐term stability of El Niño–Southern Oscillation and Pacific Decadal
Oscillation based on the examination of coccolithophore assemblages in a largely laminated
35 ka sedimentary record, retrieved in the Santa Barbara Basin (core MD02‐2503). At a
centennial scale coccolith assemblages indicate low primary production in the basin from 35
to 11.5 ka BP, whereas the Holocene is characterized by high‐productivity conditions. This
pattern demonstrates the influence of the glacial‐interglacial cycles on productivity and, by …
