7 Sea surface temperatures did not control the first occurrence of Hudson Strait Heinrich Events during MIS 16.

The article examines the impacts of millennial-scale climate variability on global climate change. Among such millennial-scale variables are the Hudson Strait (HS) Heinrich Events and ice-rafting events in the North Atlantic from the Laurentide ice sheet (LIS). It proves that sea surface temperatures (SST) has no significant role in the occurrence of HS Heinrich(-like) Events. It cites the use of mineralogy and organic geochemistry in analyzing the characteristics of ice-rafting debris (IRD) and their role in HS Heinrich Events.
