Geological Survey BulletinB 21718755-531XTotal faunal analyses of planktic foraminifer assemblages are used to derive sea-surface temperature estimates for the last interglacial from Ocean Drilling Program sites 1018 and 1020 off Northern and Central California. Foraminifer assemblage data were transformed to sea-surface temperature (SST) estimates by using the modern analog technique (MAT). In order to improve our ability to estimate SST in this area, the coretop calibration data base used in the MAT was augmented by 13 new age-validated coretop assemblages from the U.S. Pacific margin.completedQuaternary geologyassemblagesCaliforniaCenozoicCentral Californiacontinental margincoresEast PacificForaminiferainterglacial environmentInvertebrataLeg 167microfossilsmodern analogsNorth PacificNortheast PacificNorthern CaliforniaOcean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1018ODP Site 1020Pacific Oceanpaleoclimatologyplanktonic taxaPleistoceneProtistaQuaternarysea-surface temperatureUnited Statesupper PleistoceneUSGSurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:167:site:1018urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:167:site:1020urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:167urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation-126.2604-123.163436.592241.0003Includes appendices
