Description

δ18O ppm in deep sea sediment for aminifera carbonates over time from 0-600,000 years. Averaged over a large number of cores in order to isolate a global signal. Original caption:

"The variations of 18O in carbonate averaged over a large number of different cores (in order to isolate a global signal) over the last 600,000 years. Most clear are the regular oscillations of the glacial ice volume which follows small changes to Earth's orbit around the Sun (Milankovitch forcing)."
