affected global climate, causing increased latitudinal thermal gradients and a «spinning up» of the
oceans that resulted in: (1) increased thermohaline circulation and erosional pulses of Northern Component Water and Antarctic
Bottom Water; (2) increased deep - basin ventilation, which caused a decrease in oceanic residence time, a decrease in deep -
ocean acidity, and a deepening of the calcite compensation depth (CCD); and (3) increased diatom diversity due to intensified upwelling.
