摘要
An event stratigraphy for the Last Termination, based on the stratotype of the GRIP ice-core record, has been outlined for the North Atlantic region. It is suggested that such an approach to stratigraphic subdivision may offer a more satisfactory alternative to conventional stratigraphical procedures for those parts of the recent Quaternary record that are characterised by rapid and/or short-term climatic fluctuations.
