Highlights
•We provide a
comprehensive deglacial chronology for the eastern Amundsen Sea
•Data will help constraints ice sheet models
•Shows consistent pattern of deglaciation across the Amundsen Sea
Embayment
•Pattern of retreat highlights the importance of reverse bedslopes

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2014.07.003
Highlights
•The statistical errors in converting isotope data to
palaeotemperature are analysed.
•Appropriate methods, and equations with supporting spreadsheet,
are presented.
•Transposed regression underestimates temperature differences by
at least 40%.
•Increasing sample size from 1 to 5 gives big improvements, more
than 5 less so.
•Uncertainty from natural faunal variability dominates that from
precipitation data.
