摘要
Oxygen and carbon isotope records from benthic and planktonic foraminifera are presented for the past 35,000 years in the northeastern Atlantic. The results support the idea that the last deglaciation took place in two major steps1-4, and conflict with theories calling for a strong reduction in North Atlantic deep-water formation to explain the abrupt cooling of the Younger Dryas cold period5-7. © 1990 Nature Publishing Group.
