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... -
Distribution of benthic foraminifera in surface sediments of the Portuguese c...
Living and dead benthic Foraminifera of 26 sediment surface samples from the East Atlantic continental margin (off Portugal) are studied. The stations are located on two... -
Geochemical analysis of sediments and interstitial water in sediment cores fr...
A. Continental slope sediments off Spanish-Sahara and Senegal contain up to 4% organic carbon and up to 0.4% total nitrogen. The highest concentrations were found in sediments... -
Composition of bioclastic sands, carbonates and pyroclastic rocks of the Grea...
Great Meteor Seamount (GMS) is a very large (24,000 km3) guyot with a flat summit plateau at 330-275 m; it has a volcanic core, capped by 150-600 m of post-Middle-Miocene... -
Geochemistry of recent sediments of the East African continental margin, Arab...
Chemical analyses have been carried out on 40 samples from the sediment surface and 210 samples from cores that were taken from the edge of the African continental block at the... -
Description of recent sediments of the East African continental margin
Recent sediments off East Africa coast show 5 fades, parallel the coast: biogene carbonate sand, olivgrey mud, foraminiferal sand, globigerine ooze, and deep sea clay. These... -
Distribution of planktic foraminifera in surface sediments and sedimentation ...
Cores from the Atlantic Ibero-Moroccan continental rise and slope contain fine-grained Late Pleistocene and Holocene sediments. These young sediments cover the continental... -
Distribution of benthic and planktic foraminifera in surface sediments of the...
During the Indian Ocean Expedition of the German research vessel "Meteor" and the following cruise with the Pakistani fishing vessel "Machhera" in February and March 1965,... -
Nannoplankton of multi-net samples, sediment surface and sediment core sample...
Recent nannoplankton from the "Meteor”-stations M 242, M 243 and M 245 in the northern Arabian Sea were studied by means of the light and electron microscope, and 19 species... -
Heavy mineral alanysis of surface sediments from the west-Pakistan and the ad...
Sediment samples from the southern West-Pakistan and the adjacent shelf have been studied for their heavy mineral contents and compositions. It is shown that the sediment load... -
Quantitative component analysis of the coarse fraction of surface sediments f...
In the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman marl forms the primary sediment cover, particularly on the Iranian side. A detailed quantitative description of the sediment components... -
Geologic-hydrologic setting and surface sedimentology in the Persian Gulf
Morphology and sedimentation The deepest parts of the Persian Gulf lie off the Iranian coast. Several swells separate the Persian Gulf into the Western Basin, the Central Basin... -
Determination of Radium, Thorium, and Protactinium in sediment cores of the I...
Instead of the isotopes Jo, Th, and Pa the radioactive daughter products Rn, Tn, and An were measured. It was possible to date four cores and to calculate the sedimentation...
