Abstract

For the last glacial/interglacial cycle (last 115 ka) stratigraphy for abrupt or millennial-scale climate events is now following mostly the INTIMATE nomenclature of Greenland stadial/ interstadial cycles. The new IntCal13 calibration curve makes an essential step forward in the calibrating 14C ages from Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 3 and thus aligning records from different climate archives. Keywords: Greenland interstadials, Greenland stadials, Heinrich events, Antarctic Isotope Maximum, IntCal13
