Climate proxies indicate coupling between changes in atmospheric pCO2, global temperatures and ice volume over much of the Cenozoic. Evidence has been presented for decoupling...

SDP Leg 85 was designed to take advantage of a new hydraulic piston corer (HPC) enabling to recover fairly undisturbed samples from the upper 100 to 300 m and thus to carry out...

Thirty selected samples of pelagic and hydrothermal sediments retrieved on DSDP Leg 54 were chemically analyzed for major and minor oxide concentrations. Additionally, 11...

The abundance and distribution of palladium, iridium and gold has been determined in manganese nodules from widely varying locations and geological environments within the...

Basal sediments cored above alkali basalt at Site 183 beneath the Aleutian Abyssal Plain include iron-rich clays, a geothite-bearing calcareous ironstone (23.8% Fe and 4.16% Mn,...

The interstitial water received at UCLA from Leg 7 (Guam to Hawaii) consisted of forty-two samples of approximately 5 milliliters each, three samples of approximately 10...

Increased export production (EP) in the Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) of the Southern Ocean due to iron fertilisation has been proposed as a key mechanism for explaining carbon...

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the dominant glacial-interglacial cyclicity as inferred from the marine d18O records of benthic foraminifera (d18Obenthic) changed...

Concentrations of tin in sea water decreased from estuarine and shelf (0.02-0.04 µg/kg) to surface Atlantic waters (0.009 µg/kg). Mean contents (ppm) in other materials...

Chemical and mineralogical analyses of manganese nodules from a large number of widely spaced localities in the Pacific and Indian Oceans have shown that their mineralogy and...

We present an improved database of planktonic foraminiferal census counts from the Southern Hemisphere Oceans (SHO) from 15°S to 64°S. The SHO database combines 3 existing...

At the date of publication the radioactivity of bottom sediments had only been published by a few authors. The radioactivity of selected characteristic ferro-manganese...

The ability of the hydrated oxides of manganese and iron to adsorb ions from solution (scavenging) is considered in relation to some problems in marine geology, chemistry, and...

High-resolution records of coarse lithic content and oxygen isotope have been obtained in a piston core from the Irminger Basin. The last glacial period is characterized by...

Among the geological discoveries of the end of the 19th century, one of the most remarkable and certainly most important from the economic point of view, is that lime phosphate...

C. W. Gümbel received nodules from J. Murray which were collected at a depth of 2740 fathoms, between Japan and the Sandwich Islands, by the "Challenger" Expedition. They were...

Manganese nodules from Stations 252 and 281 of the Challenger Expedition, collected in 1875, have recently been discovered in the Redpath Museum. The nodules have been found to...

Changes in ocean circulation are often credited as the primary control on large-scale climate change during the Miocene. This study investigates the latest Oligocene to middle...

The manganese nodules occur in greater or less quantity all over the ocean-bed, and most abundantly in the Pacific. They occur in all sizes, from minute grains to masses of a...

Mid-Cretaceous (Barremian-Turonian) plankton preserved in deep-sea marl, organic-rich shale, and pelagic carbonate hold an important record of how the marine biosphere responded...
