Description:

Here we present a 1.5 Myr orbitally resolved deep ocean calcite saturation record (ΔCO32−) derived from benthic foraminiferal B/Ca ratios in the North Atlantic. Glacial ΔCO32− declines across the mid-Pleistocene transition suggesting increased sequestration of carbon in the deep Atlantic.
