Enhanced ventilation of Eastern North Atlantic Oxygen Minimum Zone with deglacial slowdown of Meridional Overturning by Sofía Barragán-Montilla, Heather J. H. Johnstone, Stefan Mulitza, Dharma A. Reyes Macaya, Babette A. A. Hoogakker, Heiko Pälike

“…However, how this shallow circulation interacts with changes in the strength of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) remains unclear. Here, we present a deglacial and high-resolution paleo-oxygenation record (combined bottom and pore water) from the margin of ETNA OMZ (GeoB9512-5, 793 m water depth), which registers more strongly oxygenated periods during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), two parts of the Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1), and during the Younger Dryas (YD). …”
