From: Giant clam (Tridacna) distribution in the Gulf of Oman in relation to past and future climate
Stratigraphic distribution and climate relationships of late Quaternary Tridacna records in the Gulf of Oman and Persian Gulf (vertical bars: blue = T-Tiwi1, red = T-Fins). The red mark on the time axis denotes the maximum age limit of the dating technique applied herein. IG interglacial, LGM last glacial maximum, MIS marine isotope stage. (a) Sea-level changes [light purple: global relative sea level (solid line25, dashed line26), dark purple: global mean sea-level change predicted from ice history simulations23]. (b) Dansgaard-Oeschger temperature fluctuations as recorded in the North Greenland ice cores37. (c) SWM multi-proxy stacks from the northern Arabian Sea (dark green: Owen Ridge48, light green: Little Murray Ridge49; Fig. 1b). The double head arrow indicates SWM strength.
