Sedimentation rates on the Yermak Plateau during different oxygen isotope stages

Three cores of bottom sediments sampled from the Yermak Plateau are scrutinized. Age model based on AMS 14C dating and oxygen isotope stratigraphy (OIS) is presented for the reference core PS 2837. Hypothetical stratigraphic models for cores PS 2834 and PS 2859 are based on lithostratigraphic analyses. Detailed layer-by-layer descriptions of all studied sections are given based on grain size distribution and contents of CaCO3, Corg, and heavy minerals.
