Oxygen isotopic measurements in three Late Quaternary deep-sea cores from the Gulf of Mexico record a major anomaly between about 15,000 and 12,000 years ago superimposed on a more characteristic oceanic oxygen isotopic curve. This resulted from major influx of isotopically light glacial meltwater via the Mississippi River from the disintegrating Late Wisconsin Laurentide Ice Sheet 2000 kilometers to the north.
墨西哥湾三个全新世深海岩芯的氧同位素测量记录显示，在大约 15000 至 12000 年前，存在一个主要的异常，叠加在更为典型的海洋氧同位素曲线上。这是由于来自北方 2000 公里处解体的威斯康星州劳伦太德冰盖的密西西比河，大量注入同位素较轻的冰川融水所致。
