Tropical hydroclimatic events, characterized by extreme regional rainfall anomalies, were a
recurrent feature of marine isotope stages 2–4 and involved some of the most abrupt and …

Deepwater circulation significantly changed during the last deglaciation from a shallow to a
deep-reaching overturning cell. This change went along with a drawdown of isotopically …

Liquid freshwater fluxes from the Greenland ice sheet affect ocean water properties and
circulation on local, regional and basin-wide scales, with associated biosphere effects. The …

Columbia River megafloods occurred repeatedly during the last deglaciation, but the
impacts of this fresh water on Pacific hydrography are largely unknown. To reconstruct …

Iceberg discharge influences ocean circulation, affects climate and increases global sea
level. Icebergs are also known to gouge the seafloor in water depths limited by their keel …

The most significant climate cooling of the Holocene is centred on 8.2 kyr BP (the '8.2
event'). Its cause is widely attributed to an abrupt slowdown of the Atlantic Meridional …

During the last glacial period (120–12 ka), the Laurentide ice sheet discharged large
numbers of icebergs into the North Atlantic. These icebergs carried sediments that were …

Icebergs account for approximately half the freshwater flux into the ocean from the
Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and play a major role in the distribution of meltwater into …

Abstract Glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere is limited by the availability of land from
which to seed ice sheets. The extents of the Antarctic, Patagonian, and New Zealand Ice …

High resolution seafloor mapping shows extraordinary evidence that massive (> 300 m
thick) icebergs once drifted> 5,000 km south along the eastern United States, with> 700 …
