Correction to: Communications Earth & Environment https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-021-00154-2, published online 10 May 2021.

The original version of this Article incorrectly numbered References 38, 39 and 40. References 38 to 40 were originally incorrectly numbered in the References section as:

38. Lisiecki, L. E. & Raymo, M. E. A Pliocene-Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ18O records. Paleoceanography 20, PA1003 (2005).

39. Elderfield, H. et al. Evolution of ocean temperature and ice volume through the mid-Pleistocene climate transition. Science 337, 704–709 (2012).

40. Yamamoto, M., Oba, T., Shimamune, J. & Ueshima, T. Orbital-scale antiphase variation of sea surface temperature in mid-latitude North Pacific margins during the last 145,000 years. Geophys. Res. Lett. 31, L16311 (2004).

In the corrected Article they are re-numbered to:

38. Yamamoto, M., Oba, T., Shimamune, J. & Ueshima, T. Orbital-scale antiphase variation of sea surface temperature in mid‐latitude North Pacific margins during the last 145,000 years. Geophys. Res. Lett. 31, L16311 (2004).

39. Lisiecki, L. E. & Raymo, M. E. A Pliocene‐Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ18O records. Paleoceanography 20, PA1003 (2005).

40. Elderfield, H. et al. Evolution of ocean temperature and ice volume through the mid-Pleistocene climate transition. Science 337, 704–709 (2012).

In addition, the original version of this Article contained referencing errors in the caption of Table 2. The original caption read:

“Data from core MD01-242135,38 and St.1443 are also shown.”

In the corrected Article the caption reads:

“Data from core MD01-242138,43 and St.1448 are also shown.”

These errors have been corrected in the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
