Data Source

The isotope composition of ocean sediments is the chief data source for Pleistocene climatic changes. It is generally believed that the18O/16O ratio of a sample indicates the global total of glacial ice at the time the sample was deposited. This is roughly correct, but numerous complicating factors limit the accuracy of the isotope proxies.
