I have released episode 8 of the Raised Beaches Podcast, where I give a profile on the famous paleo sea level scientist, Paolo Pirazzoli.

Romero et al present an ice-free and paleo sea level chronology for James Ross Island in the northeastern Antarctic Peninsula area. They found that the advance of the local ice cap happened sometime after 40,000 years ago, and this implies a period of retreated ice in MIS 3.

How is this for a feedback loop?
Ice sheets build up during a glaciation lowering global sea level → reduced water load leads to increased mid ocean ridge volcanism after a 10-20 kyr lag → volcanism releases iron in the ocean → iron causes plankton blooms → atmospheric CO₂ goes down → ice sheets build up
