Glacial-interglacial sedimentation rates and turbidite frequency in the Bahamas: a clear case of carbonate shedding during high sea level stands

Conference Droxler, A W ; Schlager, W - Geol. Soc. Am., Abstr. Programs; (United States)

Vail's sea level curve is built on a basic principle that siliciclastic continental shelves and implicitly carbonate platforms mainly export sediment toward the surrounding basins during sea level low stands. The authors late Quaternary Bahamian data demonstrate however, that sediment export from carbonate banks is just the opposite. Five, 8-13 m long, piston cores were studied from the southern Tongue of the Ocean, a 1300 m deep flat-floored basin in the Bahamas, surrounded on its three sides by wide shallow carbonate banks. Turbidite layers were visually distinguished from intervening periplatform ooze. Glacial cyclic variations of aragonite content in the periplatformmore »« less
Milankovitch forcing of the last interglacial sea level

Journal Article Crowley, T J ; Kim, K Y - Science

During the last interglacial, sea level was as high as present, 4000 to 6000 years before peak Northern Hemisphere insolation receipt 126,000 years ago. The sea-level results are shown to be consistent with climate models, which simulate a 3{degrees} to 4{degrees}C July temperature increase from 140,000 to 130,000 years ago in high latitudes, with all Northern Hemisphere land areas being warmer than present by 130,000 years ago. The early warming occurs because obliquity peaked earlier than precession and because precession values were greater than present before peak precessional forcing occurred. These results indicate that a fuller understanding of the Milankovitch-climatemore »« less

Thorium-230 ages of corals and duration of the last interglacial sea-level high stand on Oahu, Hawaii

Journal Article Szabo, B J ; Ludwig, K R ; Muhs, D R ; ... - Science

Thorium-230 ages of emergent marine deposits on Oahu, Hawaii, have a uniform distribution of ages from {approximately}114,000 to {approximately}131,000 years, indicating a duration for the last interglacial sea-level high stand of {approximately}17,000 years, in contrast to a duration of {approximately}8000 years inferred from the orbitally tuned marine oxygen isotope record. Sea level on Oahu rose to {>=}1 to 2 meters higher than present by 131,000 years ago or {approximately}6000 years earlier than inferred from the marine record. Although the latter record suggests a shift back to glacial conditions beginning at {approximately}119,000 years ago, the Oahu coral ages indicate a nearmore »« less

Trends in stomatal density and [sup 13]C/[sup 12]C ratios of Pinus flexilis needles during last glacial-interglacial cycle

Journal Article Van de Water, P K ; Leavitt, S W ; Betancourt, J L - Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

Measurements of stomatal density and [sigma][sup 13]C of limber pine (Pinus flexilis) needles (leaves) preserved in pack rat middens from the Great Basin reveal shifts in plant physiology and leaf morphology during the last 30,000 years. Sites were selected so as to offset glacial to Holocene climatic differences and thus to isolate the effects of changing atmospheric CO[sub 2] levels. Stomatal density decreased [approximately]17 percent and [sigma][sup 13]C decreased [approximately]1.5 per mil during deglaciation from 15,000 to 12,000 years ago, concomitant with a 30 percent increase in atmospheric CO[sub 2]. Water-use efficiency increased [approximately]15 percent during deglaciation, if temperature andmore »« less

Flood plain stability of the Peace River, southwestern Florida, since the last glacial lowstand of sea level

Conference Guccione, M J - Geological Society of America, Abstracts with Programs; (United States)

The 186 km long Peace River heads in the Central Highlands, dissects marine terraces of the Coastal Lowlands, and flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Between river kms 80 and 137 the gradient is low (0.1 to 0.3 m/km), sinuosity is moderate (1.2 to 1.8), and the flood plain is wide (0.6 to 2.5 km). The flood plain is underlain by a well-sorted fine/very fine-grained quartz sand overbank deposit. This overlies crossbedded and rippled, medium/coarse-grained quartz and phosphatic sand channel deposits, organic-rich loamy sand channel-fill deposits, and/or non-fluvial strata. Radiocarbon dates of organics in channel deposits at two sites 57more »« less
