Beschreibung:
The dataset compiles reconstructed changes in bottom water temperature and global ice volume from 0 to 17 Ma using δ18O in conjunction with Mg/Ca records of the infaunal benthic foraminifer, O. umbonatus from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 130-806 (equatorial Pacific; ~2500 m). This dataset covers the middle Miocene to present (17-0 Ma) and has an average temporal resolution of ~0.2 Ma. Application of the new equations to the Site 130-806 record leads to the suggestion that global ice volume was greater than today after the Middle Miocene Climate Transition (~14 Ma). ODP Site 130-806 bottom waters cooled and freshened as the Pacific zonal sea surface temperature gradient increased, and climate cooled through the Pliocene, prior to the Plio‐Pleistocene glaciation of the Northern Hemisphere.
