Stable carbon record and paleomagnetic of sediment core V28-179

Oxygen isotope and palaeomagnetic analysis of the lower half of LDGO piston core V28-179 shows that glacial-interglacial fluctuations have characterised Eart's climate for the past 3.2 Myr, before shich there was a period of stable 'interglacial' or 'preglacial' climate. The scale of glaciations increased about 2.5 Myr ago.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from R/V Atlantis Cruise 179 stations

The cores described were taken by the personnel of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) operating as guests scientists during the R/V Atlantis Cruise 179 undertaken by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution from April until May 1952. A total of 25 cores were recovered and are available at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory for sampling and study.
