Dominik Pawłowski , Ryszard K. Borówka, , Grzegorz A. Kowalewski , Tomi P. Luoto, Krystyna Milecka , Liisa Nevalainen , Daniel Okupny, , Julita Tomkowiak, Tomasz Zieliński
•Soil Δ17O is strongly correlated with mean annual precipitation.
•Paleosol and ancient aquifer Δ17O served as a paleo-precipitation proxy.
•Surface Δ17O isoscapes were generated using global precipitation data.

4. Mg/Ca-ΔCO2−3pore water-temperature calibration for Globobulimina spp.: A sensitive paleothermometer for deep-sea temperature reconstruction
Syee Weldeab, Adam Arce, Sabine Kasten
•A sensitive Mg/Ca paleothermometer for deep-sea temperature reconstruction is presented.
•Concentration of ΔCO2−3 in porewater is spatially and temporally variable.
•ΔCO2−3 pore water is highly correlated to the ΔCO2−3 of the overlying bottom water.
•Mg/Ca (Globobulimina) sensitivity to ΔCO2−3 is estimated 0.009 mmol/mol/μmol/kg.

5. CO2 over the past 5 million years: Continuous simulation and new δ11B-based proxy data
Lennert B. Stap , Bas de Boer, Martin Ziegler, Richard Bintanja, Lucas J. Lourens, Roderik S.W. van de Wal
We present a continuous simulation of CO2 over the past 5 million years.
•We use a coupled ice sheet–climate model forced inversely by benthic δ18O.
•Our model supports CO2 levels of up to 470 ppm during the early Pliocene.
•During this time, ESS is reduced in our model, due to less ice sheet variability.
•Our results are in broad agreement with existing and new δ11B-based proxy CO2 data.

6. Late Quaternary environmental change in the interior South American tropics: new insight from leaf wax stable isotopes
Kyrstin L. Fornace , Bronwen S. Whitney, Valier Galy, Konrad A. Hughen, Francis E. Mayle
•Climate history of Pantanal wetlands over past 40 kyr from leaf wax δ13C and δD
•Leaf wax δ13C reveals large C3/C4 vegetation shifts complementing pollen record.
•Drier LGM conditions point to regional variability of glacial monsoon precipitation.
•Holocene hydrologic trend consistent with precessional forcing of monsoon.
•Leaf wax δD record mainly reflects vegetation change.

7. Reduced deep ocean ventilation in the Southern Pacific Ocean during the last glaciation persisted into the deglaciation

Elisabeth L. Sikes, Mea S. Cook, Thomas P. Guilderson
•Glacial deep ventilation ages in the Southwest Pacific were as much as 3500 yr.
•Oldest glacial 14C ages were at mid water (2500–3500 m) not abyssal depths.
•Benthic-minus-planktonic differences ages mask old ventilations ages.
•Deep ventilation decreases in progressively deeper water across the deglaciation.
•A modern profile of ventilation ages is established by 15 ka.

8. Fish otolith assemblages from Recent NE Atlantic sea bottoms: A comparative study of palaeoecology
Chien-Hsiang Lin , Angela Girone, Dirk Nolf
•Pelagic and benthic–benthopelagic taxa differ in quantity and diversity.
•Otolith assemblage reflects its own biogeographical feature.
•Benthic–benthopelagic taxa are important for bathymetric interpretation.
•Mesopelagic taxa with otolith size-related distribution improve interpretation.

9. Paleoenvironmental insights into the Quaternary evolution of the southern Brazilian coast based on fossil and modern diatom assemblages
Cristiane Bahi dos Santos-Fischer, Iran Carlos Stalliviere Corrêa, Jair Weschenfelder, Lezilda Carvalho Torgan, Jeffery Robert Stone
Diatom assemblages reflect changes in sediment production and transport at least 43,500 yr BP
The spatial distribution of fossil assemblages are strongly linked to sea-level oscillations
Three salinity zones are identified in Patos Lagoon related to freshwater and marine taxa
Paralia sulcata occurred continuously from Late Pleistocene-Holocene, but is rare in modern sediments
Abrupt changes in sedimentation have been recorded during LGM related to shifts in marine/freshwater deposition

10. Postglacial sediment deposition along a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic margin: New constraints from the drowned shelf-edge reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Gustavo Hinestrosa, Jody M. Webster, Robin J. Beaman
Seismic stratigraphy study of drowned shelf-edge reef systems of the GBR.
Postglacial sequence deposited between two flooding surfaces.
Margin architecture driven by shelf physiography, antecedent substrate and sea level change.
Conceptual model of postglacial deposition in mixed siliciclastic-carbonate margins.
