| High-resolution sedimentological and micropaleontological studies of several deep-sea cores retrieved from the levees of the Celtic and Armorican turbidite systems (Bay of Biscay - North Atlantic Ocean) allow the detection of the major oscillations of the British-Irish Ice Sheet (BIIS) and 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver discharges over the last 30,000 years, which were mainly triggered by climate changes. Between 30 and 20 cal ka, the turbiditic activity on the Celtic-Annorican margin was weak, contrasting with previous stratigraphic models which predicted a substantial increase of sediment supply during low sea-level stands. This low turbidite deposit frequency was most likely the result of a weak activity of the 'Fleuve Manche' palaeoriver and/or of a... |

| The Quaternary sequence of the Armorican continental shelf in the Bay of Biscay is setting down above one regional erosion surface, which has been produced by successive transgressions that occurred during the last deglaciations. The few meters of the sequence covers the Holocene period and it is composed by two clean and sandy units at the base followed by thin (few decimetres) clayed sand unit and mud (few millimetres) unit in the top. The two upper units form the improperly called "La Grande Vasière" area over 8,000 km2. The settlement of these sedimentary units occurred since 8,000 C14 years BP, previously to other coastal mud fields setting of the shelf. Historical grain size data show that the mud field has lost part of the fine content during the... |

| Vegetation and quantitative climate reconstructions from a northwestern France shelf core (VK0358Bis) show orbital and suborbital climate variability for the last 8850 years in this region. A long-term cooling trend in summer temperatures, marked by gradual temperate and humid forest decline, parallels cooling in Greenland and the decrease of mid-latitude summer insolation reduction until at least 2000 cal. yr BP. At the long-term scale, the lowering in seasonal contrast revealed by vegetation changes follows the increase of precession. Corylus woodlands spread at the expense of deciduous Quercus forest, between 8740 and 8390 cal. yr BP, linked with the high seasonality conditions that, counterbalancing the long-term astronomical forcing trend, were... |
