Sulfur concentrations and isotope ratios in sediments from Kiel Bay, western ...
The isotope-ratios of sulfur-components in several sedimentologically different cores of recent marine sediments from Kiel Bay (Baltic Sea) were investigated. In addition,... -
Stable oxygen isotope record and age determination of sediments from the Nort...
Sea surface temperature and salinity estimates reconstructed using planktonic foraminiferal abundance and delta18O records from core SU90-03 (40°N, 32°W, 2475 m water depth)... -
Grain size distribution, carbon content and wet bulk density of sediment core...
Near-surface sediments from the equatorial east Atlantic and the Norwegian Sea exhibit pronounced shear strength maxima in profiles from the peak Holocene and Pleistocene. These... -
Age determination and stable isotope ratios of three sediment cores from the ...
The marine transgression Into the Baltic Sea through the Great Belt took place around 9,370 calibrated C-14-years B.P. The sedimentary sequence from the early brackish phase and... -
Abyssal community analysis from replicate box cores in the central North Pacific
A 0.25 m2 United States Naval Electronics Laboratory box corer was used to take replicate samples from an oligotrophic bottom under the North Pacific Central Water Mass (~28°N,... -
Mapping of C4 plant input from North West Africa into North East Atlantic sed...
Mapping the abundance of 13C in leaf-wax components in surface sediments recovered from the seafloor off northwest Africa (0–35°N) reveals a clear pattern of delta13C... -
Size-related stable isotope changes in Late Cretaceous and Recent planktic fo...
The paleoecology of Cretaceous planktic foraminifera during the Late Cenomanian to Coniacian period (~95-86 Ma) remains controversial since much of the tropical marine record is... -
Fine-silt luminescence dating and mineral composition of sediments from the A...
New geochronometers are needed for sediments of the Arctic Ocean spanning at least the last half million years, largely because oxygen-isotope stratigraphy is relatively... -
The hydropolyp fauna of the Red Sea area
46 hydropolyp species of 28 genera and 10 families were sampled during the "Meteor" passage 1964/65 (IIOE) through the Red Sea and its northern and southern exits and on the... -
Marine fungi from the Northwest African upwelling areas and from the Atlantic...
Quantitative data on lower marine Phycomycetes (fungi) found in the upwelling waters off the West African coast during cruises No. 13 (1968), 19 (1970), 36 (1975) and 44 (1977)... -
Relative abundance of dinoflagellate cysts in surface sediments and dinoflage...
In this study we investigate the potential of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) as tools for quantifying past sea-surface temperatures (SST) in the Southern Ocean.... -
Sediment facies of the Indian-Pakistan continental margin, Indian Ocean Exped...
The studies described here base mainly on sedimentary material collected during the "Indian Ocean Expedition" of the German research vessel "Meteor" in the region of the... -
Pollen analysis of surface sediment off northwest Africa
Over 100 samples of recent surface sediments from the bottomn of the Atlantic Ocean offshore NW Africa between 34° and 6° N have been analysed palynologically. The objective of... -
Fragmentation and dissolution of benthic foraminifera in Kiel Bight, Baltic S...
Early diagenetic ultrastructural alterations of benthic foraminifers of the genera Elphidium and Ophthalmina from the shallow water sediments of the Kiel Bight were investigated... -
Distribution of benthic foraminifera in surface sediments on the continental ...
The benthic foraminiferal populations along three traverses across the Northwest African continental margin were analyzed on the base of ca. 60 surface sediment samples. Depth... -
Benthic foraminifera of surface sediments from the continental slope off Sier...
On "Meteor" cruise 30 (1973) 22 piston-cores were collected off Sierra Leone from water-depths between about 5000 m (Sierra Leone Basin) and 500 m (upper continental slope) with... -
Determination of Uranium, Thorium, and Ionium in sediment cores of the Caribb...
A rapid procedure for Io (Th230) dating of sediments with accumulation rates in the range of several cm/1000 years is described. Studying of large sample populations with very... -
