	abstract = {C-14 ages of benthic foraminifera and planktonic foraminifera in sediment core PC4 (41degrees07.10{\textquoteright}N, 142degrees24.17{\textquoteright}E) collected from the northwestern Pacific were measured by accelerator mass spectrometry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in intermediate water ventilation in the northwestern Pacific during the last glacial period. We used age differences between benthic foraminifera and planktonic foraminifera from the same sediment horizons to estimate the ventilation time of intermediate water. Planktonic C-14 ages show that the core recorded paleoenvironmental changes during the last 35 kyr. Glacial benthic-planktonic age differences were smaller in the early deglacial period (15000-17000 cal yr BP) than in the period (19000-30000 cal yr BP) before and during the last glacial maximum. The results at intermediate depths are consistent with those from a Pacific deep-water site. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {Sediment cores (MR01-K03 PC4/PC5, 1366 m water depth) collected from off northern Japan were studied using coexisting planktonic and benthic foraminiferal radiocarbon measurements to reconstruct the history of mid-depth circulation in the northwest Pacific. Reconstructed ventilation ages indicate that, consistent with data from a previous radiocarbon study at a shallower site, there was significant variation in mid-depth circulation during the last deglaciation, especially in the Bolling-Allerod (13-15 ka) and Younger Dryas (11.5-13 ka) intervals. Our record indicates that the ventilation changes in the North Pacific were antiphase to those of the North Atlantic, suggesting that atmospheric moisture transport associated with the Asian Monsoon might have played a great role in millennium-scale ventilation changes in the North Pacific during the last deglaciation.},
