We evaluated mid-Pliocene sea surface temperature (SST) estimates from multiple proxies at Deep Sea Drilling Project Holes 552A, 609B, 607, and 606, transecting the North Atlantic Drift. SST estimates derived from faunal assemblages, foraminifer Mg/Ca, and alkenone unsaturation indices showed strong agreement at Holes 552A, 607, and 606 once differences in calibration, depth, and seasonality were addressed. Abundant extinct species and/or an unrecognized productivity signal in the faunal assemblage at Hole 609B resulted in exaggerated faunal-based SST estimates but did not affect alkenone-derived or Mg/Ca\u2013derived estimates. Multiproxy mid-Pliocene North Atlantic SST estimates corroborate previous studies documenting high-latitude mid-Pliocene warmth and refine previous faunal-based estimates affected by environmental factors other than temperature. Multiproxy investigations will aid SST estimation in high-latitude areas sensitive to climate change and currently underrepresented in SST reconstructions.", "description": "9 p.", "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "American Geophysical Union" }, "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dowsett, Harry J. hdowsett@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Harry J.", "familyName": "Dowsett", "email": "hdowsett@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0003-1983-7524", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1983-7524" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Florence Bascom Geoscience Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center" }, { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Robinson, Marci M. mmrobinson@usgs.gov", "givenName": "Marci M.", "familyName": "Robinson", "email": "mmrobinson@usgs.gov", "identifier": { "@type": "PropertyValue", "propertyID": "ORCID", "value": "0000-0002-9200-4097", "url": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9200-4097" }, "affiliation": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Florence Bascom Geoscience Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center" }, { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center" } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Dwyer, Gary S.", "givenName": "Gary S.", "familyName": "Dwyer" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lawrence, Kira T.", "givenName": "Kira T.", "familyName": "Lawrence" } ], "funder": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Eastern Geology and Paleoclimate Science Center", "url": "https://www.usgs.gov/centers/florence-bascom-geoscience-center" } ] }
