Analysis of sediment cores yields a record of sedimentary history for the past 35,000 years and includes a complete cold to warm climate cycle. Sedimentation rates have been calculated using open ocean records as a dating tool plus some radiocarbon dates and data from micropaleontologic and oxygen isotopic data. These show that sedimentation rates have varied several fold and that the main effect is exerted by the terrigenous continental input. Pelagic biogenic input has also varied in parallel with the terrigenous contribution but at much lower rates. Organic carbon content parallels carbonate and shows a slight offset in terms of percent of total sediment due to terrigenous dilution and also to rapidity of burial. Slower rates over the past 6000 years have produced lower buried carbon values. Variations appear to be synchronous with the deep ocean record. (Author).

Analysis of the variation in carbonate Contint versus time in sediments from the basins of the California Continental Borderland reveals that the high carbonate sediments correlate with relatively warm water period. This is verified by oxygen isotopic data and micropaleontologic data. In warm times turbidity current contribution is small and the dilution effect of terrigenous sediments is minimal. Conversely, during periods when sediments have low carbonate content the terrigenous sediment rates are high turbidities are common and the influence of local clay sources increases. Examination of the regional patterns of sedimentation shows that the upwelling intensity increased in the area at least two-fold and terrigenous sediment input also increased as much as five-fold during the most recent cold period. It is suggested that this reflects a movement of climatic belts toward the Equator and a concommittant increase in runnoff and upweeling rate. (Author).
