Stable isotopes, geochemical, lithological, and micropaleontological results from cores from the far northwest (FNW) Pacific and the Okhotsk and Bering seas are used to reconstruct the regional environment for the last glaciation, the deglacial
transition, and the Holocene. During deglaciation, accumulation of the coarse terrigenous component decreased in sediments of the Bering Sea and the FNW Pacific before the north Pacific terminal event T1ANP, probably as a result of rising sea level

This study presents radiolarian microfossil-based temperature reconstructions for the eastern North Pacific spanning the past 20,000 yr to examine possible correlations and linkages between continental climate change and changes in sea surface
temperature (SST) in the northeastern Pacific Ocean on millennial time scales. The AA. conclude that changes in the past latitudinal position of the North Pacific Drift played a significant role in controlling continental climate immediately to its east
glacial-to-interglacial temperature change, they give no indication of a cooling during Younger Dryas time. This suggests that the Younger Dryas increase in δ18O observed in cores from the equatorial Pacific is not due to a climatic cooling but rather
