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... -
Radiolarian assemblages of ODP Leg 117 sites
Significant numbers of radiolarians ranging in age from late middle Miocene to Recent were recovered from six sites drilled on the Oman margin and Owen Ridge. Sparse faunas were... -
Benthic foraminifera of cores from ODP Leg 117
The relative abundances of benthic foraminifers from the Oman margin have been analyzed from ODP Sites 725 and 726 near the upper boundary of the oxygen-minimum zone (OMZ) and... -
Calcareous nannofossils in Pliocene and Quaternary sediments of ODP Leg 117 h...
A total of 21 calcareous nannofossil datums was found in the upper Pliocene and Quaternary sediments recovered from the ocean floor of the North Atlantic during DSDP Leg 94.... -
Calcareous nannofossils in Neogene sediments of ODP Leg 117 holes
Calcareous nannofossils were studied in 574 Neogene samples recovered from eight sites drilled in block-faulted basins on the continental margin of Oman. This portion of the... -
A 300 kyr record of upwelling off Oman during the Late Quaternary: evidence o...
In the northwest Arabian Sea upwelling occurs each summer, driven by the strong SW monsoon winds. Upwelling results in high biological productivity and a distinctive assemblage... -
Benthic foraminiferal accumulation rates of the late Pliocene-Pleistocene in ...
During the late Pliocene–middle Pleistocene, 63 species of elongate, bathyal–upper abyssal benthic foraminifera (Extinction Group = Stilostomellidae, Pleurostomellidae, some... -
Carbon and Sulphur concentrations of sediments from Peru, Oman and Benguela u...
Abundances of organic carbon, sulfur, and reactive iron in sediments of three upwelling environments (Peru, Oman and Benguela) suggest that organic carbon/reduced sulfur ratios... -
Pollen analysis of ODP Hole 117-720A (Appendix B)
Pollen analytical studies of the ODP Site 720 cores revealed the wide development of the coniferous forest, which mainly composed by Pinus, Picea, Abies and Cedrus deodara,... -
Last Glacial Maximum seawater temperature estimates based on planktonic foram...
Estimates of Last Glacial Maximum annual mean seawater temperatures at 50 m depth. The temperature estimates are derived using the Modern Analogue Technique using the ForCenS... -

(Appendix B) Benthic foraminifera in Indian Ocean surface sediments
Multivariate analysis was performed on percentages of 46 species of unstained deep-sea benthic foraminifera from 131 core-top to near-core-top samples (322–5013 m) from across...
