Description :
Climatic reconstruction of glacial to interglacial episodes from oxygen isotopes in sediment cores from the Nordic seas is complicated by strong local meltwater contributions to the oxygen isotope changes. Combination of benthic and planktic foraminiferal isotope data with foraminiferal abundances and ice-rafted debris (IRD) suggest that during the deglacial transition (Termination II) the climatic evolution in the Nordic seas was less affected by abrupt changes in ocean-atmosphere circulation than during the last glacial to interglacial transition.
