Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Understanding past deep-sea temperature and sea-water oxygen isotope ratios is fundamental to environmental Earth science. For example, it provides crucial insight into past ice-volume variations, an important climate system feedback. Moreover, deep-sea temperature is important to deep-sea ecology and biogeochemical cycling. Here we compare deep-sea temperature and sea-water oxygen isotope ratios from model-based deconvolution of benthic foraminiferal carbonate δ18O with clumped isotope-based deep-sea temperature data in 1000-year timesteps over the Cenozoic. To assess wider implications of the observed differences, we quantitatively evaluate a range of potential explanatory hypotheses—such as diagenetic overprints, carbonate ion effects, ice-sheet morphology changes, and warm saline deep-water admixture—but find that, individually, none can explain the observed differences satisfactorily. We then evaluate the implications of possible combined effects and recent advances in clumped isotope temperature calibration. We find that combined consideration of a recently proposed cool clumped isotope calibration and possible carbonate ion or pH influences can provide results that approximate deep-sea temperature reconstructions based on conventional δ18Oc deconvolution. The match can be further improved if modest warm saline deep-water contributions are considered during past warm periods. This contrasts with ice-volume and ice-sheet morphology changes, which appear unrealistic or insignificant, respectively. Our quantitative comparison offers a means toward formulation of a comprehensive and internally consistent understanding of Cenozoic variability in sea level (ice volume), GIA-corrected ice-sheet heights and mean ice δ18O, sea-water δ18O, sea-water δ18Ow, deep-sea temperature, and deep-sea [CO32−] variations. |
