Slow dynamics of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation

Abstract

Unraveling the dynamics of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation (NHG) in the Pliocene is a key step toward a quantitative theory of the climate transition from a greenhouse to an icehouse world. Extracting the ice volume signal from marine oxygen isotope (δ 18 O) records corrupted with “temperature noise” can be accomplished using statistical time series analysis. We use 45 δ 18 O records from benthic and planktonic foraminifera and globally distributed sites to reconstruct the dynamics of NHG initiation. We compare δ 18 O amplitudes with those of temperature proxy records and estimate a global ice volume–related increase of 0.4‰, equivalent to an overall sea level lowering of 43 m. We find the NHG started significantly earlier than previously assumed, as early as 3.6 Ma, and ended at 2.4 Ma. This long‐term increase points to slow, tectonic forcing such as closing of ocean gateways or mountain building as the root cause of the NHG.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
