Abstract

Sedimentation rates of 7 to 9 cm/1000 yr during warm and 15 to 20 cm/1000 yr during cold stages, were calculated. Calibration of the marine sedimentary record against well-dated evidence of continental climate evolution reveals a massive eolian-dust supply, extreme aridity, and stronger winds during the cold Stages 2, 4, and ?6. These are opposed to low dust input and increased wetness during the warm Stages 1, 3, and 5a, when stained quartz dust might indicate the formation and erosion of red soils. -from Authors
