Using an inverse modelling technique, we decomposed the oxygen isotope record into temperature and ice volume and found that the Antarctic ice sheet expanded episodically during the declining phase of the long-term ( approximately 400 kyr) eccentricity cycle and subsequent low short-term ( approximately 100 kyr) eccentricity cycle. The largest glaciations are separated by multiple long-term eccentricity cycles, indicating the involvement of a non-linear response mechanism. Our modelling results suggest that during the largest (Mi-1) event, Antarctic ice sheet volume expanded up to its present-day configuration. In addition, we found that distinct approximately 100 kyr variability occurs during the termination phases of the major Antarctic glaciations, suggesting that climate and ice-sheet response was more susceptible to short-term eccentricity forcing at these times. During two of these termination-phases, delta (super 18) O bottom water gradients in the Atlantic ceased to exist, indicating a direct link between global climate, enhanced ice-sheet instability and major oceanographic reorganisations.completedStratigraphyAntarctic ice sheetAntarcticaAtlantic Oceanbenthic taxaC-13/C-12carbonCenozoicclimate changeclimate forcingForaminiferaglacial environmentglacial geologyice sheetsInvertebrataisotope ratiosisotopesKerguelen PlateauLeg 208lower Miocenemagnetic propertiesmagnetic susceptibilitymicrofossilsMioceneNeogeneO-18/O-16Ocean Drilling ProgramODP Site 1264ODP Site 1265Oligoceneone-dimensional modelsoxygenpaleo-oceanographypaleoclimatologyPaleogenepaleomagnetismProtistaSouth AtlanticSoutheastern Atlanticstable isotopesTertiaryupper OligoceneWalvis Ridgeurn:org.iodp:exp:208urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:208:site:1264urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:208urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignurn:org.iodp:exp:208:site:1265urnlargerWorkCitationstudyurn:org.iodp:exp:208urnlargerWorkCitationcampaignEnglishgeoscientificInformation2.38002.5100-28.5000-28.3200Includes supplement: cp.-7-869-2011-supplement.pdf; published in Climate of the Past, 20 Dec. 2010, Discussion: 20 December, 2010, http://clim-past-discuss.net/application/pdfunknownSEDIS Publication Catalogueana.macario@awi.dehttp://sedis.iodp.org/pub-catalogue/informationpointOfContacthttp://www.clim-past.net/7/869/2011/cp-7-869-2011.pdfdownload
