Abstract
Three central Mediterranean deep-sea cores have been studied to reconstruct the palaeoclimatic history of the basin over the time interval 34-0 kyr BP. The intensity and duration of the climatic events that occurred in the Mediterranean Sea during the last glacial-postglacial transition were estimated by observing compositional changes in the planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton (coccolithophores) assemblages, together with a reconstruction of sea surface temperatures (using the Modern Analogue Techmque and U
