            Abstract : 
In this paper, through measuring oxygen and carbon isotope of planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber (White) shell in sediment from IODP site U1313 North Atlantic, and building fitting formula of lightness L* and CaCO3 content using ship measured data, we rebuilt the CaCO3 content and identified 26 glacial-interglacial cycles. Based on comprehensive analysis of the fluctuations of CaCO3 content, lightness L*, δ18O and δ13C indicators in the study section 115.48 ~ 69.43mcd (2420.88 ~ 1460.89 ka), the climate changes in North Atlantic are reconstructed and divided into three stages.
