DESCRIPTION:More than 20 UK Quaternary sites are reliably related to MIS 7
  of the global marine isotope stage framework. This interglacial has a dis
 tinctive O18:O16 profile of an early warm peak (MIS 7e) followed by a well
 -defined cooler episode (MIS 7d)\, which is followed in turn by a double w
 arm peak (MIS 7c and MIS 7a) divided by a minor cool episode (MIS 7b). For
 emost among UK MIS 7 sites is the Ebbsfleet Valley\, a\nminor tributary on
  the south side of the Thames estuary. Here\, approximately half a dozen s
 eparate localities have provided evidence of sequences from MIS 7\, rangin
 g from localities first investigated in the 1930s to currently-unpublished
  localities investigated as part of the HS1 archaeological programme. When
  the disparate palaeo-environmental\, litho-stratigraphic and dating evide
 nce from\nthese Ebbsfleet localities is considered as a whole\, a picture 
 emerges in which all three warm MIS 7 peaks can be recognised and distingu
 ished from each other\, and their distinctive palaeo-environmental and bio
 stratigraphic characteristics can thus provide the framework within which 
 other UK sites should be integrated.
