- Millennial-scale ocean climate variabilityPublication . Voelker, Antje; Andrews, John T.; Cochran, J. Kirk; Bokuniewicz, Henry J.; Yager, Patricia L.Marine sediment cores that span the last 50,000 years frequently show considerable variability in sediment and biogeochemical variables. In the North Atlantic, a series of massive iceberg and meltwater events (Heinrich events) were sourced from Hudson Strait and the Laurentide Ice Sheet with a periodicity of ~7.2 ky and had significant impacts on the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and the global hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. Some marine proxies show higher frequency, abrupt events, that may match the Dansgaard-Oeschger (D-O) oscillations. Predictable millennial-scale periodicities and associated forcings have proved elusive, and an observed ~1.5 ky cycle may be linked to stochastic resonance.
