26. Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes for Holocene (MIS 1) and last
glacial maximum (MIS 2) plotted against modern bottom-water temperature measured
on Leg 167. Site 893 (Santa Barbara Basin) bottom-water temperature is from
Emery (1960). The bottom-water temperatures compare with WOCE profiles measured
in the northeastern Pacific (Talley and Roemmich, 1991). Solid circles are
California Borderlands drill sites, and open circles are drill sites from
Northern and Central California. EW-17 marks the site survey core EW9504-17
(Lyle et al, Chap. 11,
this volume). The glacial/interglacial change is an offset for all sites of 1.55.
There is no evidence for a major change in density structure.
