Testing hypotheses that implicate changing atmospheric CO2 levels as a driver of the MPT has proven difficult with available observations. Here, we use orbitally resolved, boron isotope CO2 data to show that the glacial to interglacial CO2 difference increased from ~43 to ~75 uatm across the MPT, mainly because of lower glacial CO2 levels. Through carbon cycle modeling, we attribute this decline primarily to the initiation of substantive dust-borne iron fertilization of the Southern Ocean during peak glacial stages. We also observe a twofold steepening of the relationship between sea level and CO2-related climate forcing that is suggestive of a change in the dynamics that govern ice sheet stability, such as that expected from the removal of subglacial regolith or interhemispheric ice sheet phase-locking. We argue that neither ice sheet dynamics nor CO2 change in isolation can explain the MPT. Instead, we infer that the MPT was initiated by a change in ice sheet dynamics and that longer and deeper post-MPT ice ages were sustained by carbon cycle feedbacks related to dust fertilization of the Southern Ocean as a consequence of larger ice sheets.","pubRank":"1"}],"site":[{"NOAASiteId":"19232","siteName":"ODP 999A","siteCode":null,"mappable":"Y","locationName":"Ocean>Pacific Ocean>North Pacific Ocean","geo":{"geoType":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"POINT","coordinates":["12.75","-78.73"]},"properties":{"southernmostLatitude":"12.75","northernmostLatitude":"12.75","westernmostLongitude":"-78.73","easternmostLongitude":"-78.73","minElevationMeters":"-2827","maxElevationMeters":"-2827"}},"paleoData":[{"dataTableName":"Chalk2017ODP999boron","NOAADataTableId":"35393","earliestYear":1243250,"mostRecentYear":111320,"timeUnit":"cal yr BP","earliestYearBP":1243250,"mostRecentYearBP":111320,"earliestYearCE":-1241300,"mostRecentYearCE":-109370,"coreLengthMeters":null,"dataTableNotes":null,"species":[],"dataFile":[{"fileUrl":"https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/paleo/climate_forcing/trace_gases/Paleo-pCO2/boron_isotopes_chalk_2017.txt","urlDescription":"NOAA Template File","linkText":"ODP999 Boron Isotope and CO2 Data","variables":[{"cvDataType":"CLIMATE FORCING|CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS|PALEOCEANOGRAPHY","cvWhat":"age variable>age","cvMaterial":null,"cvError":null,"cvUnit":"time unit>age unit>calendar year before present","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":null,"cvMethod":null,"cvAdditionalInfo":null,"cvFormat":"Numeric","cvShortName":null},{"cvDataType":"PALEOCEANOGRAPHY","cvWhat":"chemical composition>isotope>isotope ratio>delta 11B","cvMaterial":"biological material>organism>foraminifer>planktic foraminifer>Globigerinoides sp.>Globigerinoides ruber>Globigerinoides ruber white","cvError":null,"cvUnit":"concentration unit>parts per notation unit>parts per thousand>per mil","cvSeasonality":null,"cvDetail":"averaged","cvMethod":"laboratory method>spectroscopy>mass spectrometry>inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry>multiple collector inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry","cvAdditionalInfo":"G. ruber white sensu stricto;
