  1. *Named in this study. Depth and age ranges for each swing include the thickness of excursional samples at either end. Uncertainties in the IntCal20 age model31,34 are presented at 2σ. The values of mid-ages and errors are rounded. Varve count durations (SG062018 vyr) are estimated from the varve chronology30.
