Abstract
Radiocarbon ages determined by the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) method on hand-picked foraminifera shells are reported. The results allow estimates of the ventilation rate of the deep Atlantic and Pacific oceans during glacial time. They also extend knowledge of the chronology of events associated with the transition from full glacial conditions ca. 15,000 years ago to full interglacial conditions ca. 8,000 years ago. This and the previous lists (Broecker et al. 1988c) contain all the results obtained as part of this program through the fall of 1989.
