Final Report Abstract

In the frame of the INTERDYNAMIK project the phase shift hypothesis of Visser et al. (2003) was tested. It was found that the observed phase shift between Mg/Ca, δ44/40Ca and δ18O is probably based on glacial/interglacial changes of the ITCZ position and may not reflect an earlier warming of the tropics relative to the high northern or southern lati‐ tudes.
