  abstract = {{T}he modern delta {C}-13({DIC}) distribution in southwest subtropical {P}acific deep waters is consistent with a regional mixing regime between water masses of open {P}acific {O}cean and {T}asman {S}ea origin. {T}his mixing regime is reconstructed across the middle-late {P}leistocene using a record of benthic foraminiferal delta {C}-13 in a sediment core from the {N}ew {C}aledonia {T}rough. {T}he relative influence on the mixing regime from open {P}acific {O}cean deep waters is seen to be significantly reduced during glacial in comparison to interglacial stages over the past 1.1 {M}a. {T}he spatial delta {C}-13 gradient in the {S}outhern {O}cean between deep waters entering the {T}asman {S}ea and the open {P}acific {O}cean is shown to be consequently greater during glacial than interglacial stages but was generally reduced across the period of the {M}iddle {P}leistocene {T}ransition. {T}he existence of strong spatial chemical gradients in the glacial {S}outhern {O}cean limits its capacity to act as an enhanced sink for atmospheric carbon.},
