Hydrocarbons of sediments of the Oman shelf
Analysis of the molecular composition and quantity of pyrolytic hydrocarbons in 41 samples from Owen Ridge and the Oman margin enabled us to identify chemical differences in the... -
Organic compounds in sediments and pore waters of ODP Sites 117-723 and 117-724
Total organic carbon, amino compounds, and carbohydrates were measured in pore waters and sediments of Pliocene to Pleistocene age from Sites 723 and 724 (ODP Leg 117) to... -
Organic carbon, reduced sulfur, and iron in Miocene to Holocene sediments fro...
We examined sediments from Neogene and Quaternary sections of the Benguela and Oman upwelling systems (DSDP Site 532, ODP Sites 723 and 722) to determine environmental and... -
Geochemistry of ODP Leg 117 sites
Geochemical logging is a routine part of the Ocean Drilling Program, yet the reliability of ODP geochemical logs has rarely been evaluated quantitatively. On ODP Leg 117,... -
10Be content s of late Cenozoic sediments from ODP Leg 117
This paper is a comparative study of the variation in 10Be content of different late Cenozoic sedimentary environments recovered during ODP Leg 117. The Oman Margin site, Hole... -
Inorganic geochemical record of ODP Holes 117-722B and 117-724C
High-resolution sampling from late Pleistocene (last 400 k.y.) sediments of Site 722 (upper 16 m) and Site 724 (upper 70 m), and subsequent inorganic geochemical analysis, has... -
Stable oxygen isotope record and lithogenic composition of ODP Hole 117-722B
The upper 38 m of Hole 722B sediments (Owen Ridge, northwest Arabian Sea) was sampled at 20 cm intervals and used to develop records of lithogenic percent, mass accumulation... -
Pliocene to Pleistocene calcium carbonate and organic carbon record of ODP Ho...
Site 722 provides high resolution records of percent CaCO3, magnetic susceptibility, d18O, organic carbon, and coarse fraction for the past 3.4 m.y. from the crest of the Owen... -
Stable oxygen isotope record and relative abundances of planktonic foraminife...
High resolution stratigraphy based on oxygen isotope ratios of the planktonic foraminifers Neogloboquadrina dutertrei (d'Orbigny), Globigeriniodes ruber (d'Orbigny), and... -
Stable isotope ratios and organic carbon accumulation rates of late Pleistoce...
Stable isotope records of coexisting benthic foraminifers Uvigerina spp. and Cibicidoides spp. and planktonic G. ruber (white variety) from Site 724 are used to study the late... -
Planktonic foraminifera of ODP Site 117-722
Quantitative analysis of the late Cenozoic planktonic foraminiferal record from western Arabian Sea Site 722 revealed long term trends in the history of oceanography and... -
Age models of ODP Sites 117-722 and 117-728
Pliocene and Pleistocene sediments of the Oman margin and Owen Ridge are characterized by continuous alternation of light and dark layers of nannofossil ooze and marly... -
Physical properties, grain size distribution and clay mineralogy of ODP Leg 1...
The fabric of sediments recovered at sites drilled on the Indus Fan, Owen Ridge, and Oman margin during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 117 was examined by scanning electron... -
Grain size distribution of Oligocene and Miocene sediments from the Indus Fan
The Owen Ridge south of Oman represents oceanic crust that was uplifted by compressional tectonic forces in the early Miocene. Build-out of the Indus Fan led to deposition of a... -
Magnetostratigraphy of ODP Leg 117 sites
Magnetic measurements were made on discrete samples from the Neogene pelagic and hemipelagic sediments recovered during ODP Leg 117. Polarity zones, usually identified for... -
Layer-by-layer correlation of ODP Leg 117 sites
One hundred thirty-one marker horizons relating to the distinct and traceable layers were described for the Owen Ridge and Oman Margin sites. The correlations incorporated the... -
Stratigraphy of ODP Leg 117 sites
During the late early Miocene to early middle Miocene, the Owen Ridge was uplifted to a sufficient height as to be above the realm of turbidite deposition. Monsoonal-induced... -
Stable isotope record of planktonic foraminifera of ODP Hole 117-723A
Oxygen and carbon isotopic analyses have been performed on the tests of Globigerina bulloides, Globigerinoides sacculifer, Neogloboquadrina dutertrei and Pulleniatina... -
Global data compilation of benthic data sets II
In this study we present a global distribution pattern and budget of the minimum flux of particulate organic carbon to the sea floor (J POC alpha). The estimations are based on... -
Planktic foraminifera from ODP Hole 117-723B
Upwelling occurs during the summer off the coast of Oman when the Asian monsoon produces strong southwest winds in the northern Arabian Sea. Ekman transport driven by the...
