- Abstract:
- Site 1240 (Leg 202) provides an excellent opportunity to examine the response of the cold tongue of the eastern equatorial Pacific (where the largest ENSO signal occurs at present day) to past rapid climatic variability. This proposal aims to explore the role of low latitudes in rapid climatic variability and the mode of operation of the natural rapid climatic variability under different boundary conditions. These objectives will be achieved by the generation of high resolution (centennial resolution) delta 18 O and delta 13 C records covering two time intervals (Late Pleistocene and Late Pliocene-Early Pleistocene). These results will be combined, for particular intervals, with additional temperature reconstruction based on Mg/Ca ratios.
