Abrupt millennial-scale climate change events of the last deglaciation (i.e. Heinrich Stadial 1 and the Younger Dryas) were accompanied by marked increases in atmospheric CO2 (CO2atm) and decreases in its stable carbon isotopic ratios (delta C-13), i.e. delta(CO2atm)-C-13, presumably due to out-gassing from the ocean. However, information on the preceding Heinrich Stadials during the last glacial period is scarce. Here we present delta C-13 records from two species of planktonic foraminifera from the western South Atlantic that reveal major decreases (up to 1%) during Heinrich Stadials 3 and 2. These delta C-13 decreases are most likely related to millennial-scale periods of weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and the consequent... |
