Stable isotope analyses of about 15-30 cleaned, similar-sized # tests of G. ruber (white form) from the greater than 300-mm sieved sediment fraction were performed # at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, on a Europa # Geo2020 mass spectrometer fitted with an individual acid-bath carbonate preparation # line. Standards (NBS-19 and an in-house Carrara marble) were run every # 17 samples; external precision is less than 0.06%. # #-------------------- # Publication # Authors: K.M. Grant, E.J. Rohling, M.

Highly resolved and continuous sea-level records are essential for quantifying ice-volume changes. However, an unbiased study of the timing of past ice-volume changes, relative to polar climate change, has so far been impossible because available sea-level records either were dated by using orbital tuning or ice-core timescales, or were discontinuous in time. Here we present an independent dating of a continuous, high-resolution sea-level record in millennial-scale detail throughout the past 150,000 years. We find that the timing of ice-volume fluctuations agrees well with that of variations in Antarctic climate and especially Greenland climate. Amplitudes of ice-volume fluctuations more closely match Antarctic (rather than Greenland) climate changes. Polar climate and ice-volume changes, and their rates of change, are found to covary within centennial response times. Finally, rates of sea-level rise reached at least 1.2 m per century during all major episodes of ice-volume reduction. # #--------------------- # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: UK Natural
