We present the WD2014 chronology for the upper
part (0–2850 m; 31.2 ka BP) of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(WAIS) Divide (WD) ice core. The chronology is based on
counting of annual layers observed in the chemical, dust
and electrical conductivity records. These layers are caused

The last glacial period exhibited abrupt Dansgaard–Oeschger climatic oscillations, evidence of which is preserved in a variety of Northern Hemisphere palaeoclimate archives¹. Ice cores show that Antarctica cooled during the warm phases of the Greenland Dansgaard–Oeschger cycle and vice versa[superscript 2,3], suggesting an interhemispheric redistribution of heat through a mechanism...
