Oxygen glacial-interglacial

Fig. 18-13 High-resolution measurements of CO2 over the last glacial-interglacial transition from the Byrd ice core in west Antarctica (Neftel et ai, 1982). Also plotted is the oxygen isotope record temperature proxy from the Byrd core (Johnsen et ai, 1972). The time scale for the records plotted here is from Sowers and Bender (1995).

Radiometric evidence for glacial and interglacial events generally corroborate the racemization dates in Table V. Oxygen isotope data (53) suggest a low ice volume (i.e., sea level maximum) at 100,000 years as well as at 120,000 years. Locality 14 may represent the 100,000-year event. Localities 1 and 130 yielded racemization dates of 180,000-...
