Benthic foraminifera in Southwest Indian Ocean surface sediments

The distribution of deep-sea benthonic foraminifera in core top samples from the southwest Indian Ocean is examined. Principal component analysis reveals two major assemblages....

Benthic foraminifera in eastern equatorial Indian Ocean surface sediments

Study of Recent abyssal benthic foraminifera from core-top samples in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean has identified distinctive faunas whose distribution patterns reflect...

Stable carbon and oxygen isotope records of Globigerinoides sacculifer from P...

We have stacked planktonic carbon isotope data from three cores in the western equatorial Pacific in order to generate a new reconstruction of atmospheric carbon dioxide over...

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...

Stable oxygen isotope record of planktonic foraminifera from late Quaternary ...

Planktonic foraminiferal test fragmentation in three cores along a depth transect from the western equatorial Pacific (ERDC-93P, 1619 m; RC17-177, 2600 m; V28-238, 3120 m...

Ge/Si record of marine biogenic opal

We have determined germanium/silicon ratios in purified diatoms and radiolarians from siliceous sediments in Holocene core tops, one late Pleistocene piston core, and four...

Planktonic foraminiferal faunas from surface-sediment samples from the South ...

We present 30 new planktonic foraminiferal census data of surface sediment samples from the South China Sea, recovered between 630 and 2883 m water depth. These new data,...

Calcium carbonate global LGM Burial rate data

Global databases of calcium carbonate concentrations and mass accumulation rates in Holocene and last glacial maximum sediments were used to estimate the deep-sea sedimentary...

Size distribution of Holocene planktic foraminifer assemblages

The size of any organism is influenced by the surrounding ecological conditions. In this study, we investigate the effects of such factors on the size spectra of planktic...

Planktonic foraminiferal 87Sr/86Sr ratios of sediment cores from the Pacific ...

Fluctuations in the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of seawater accompanying glacial/interglacial climate changes have been reported in recent studies but remain highly controversial. To...

Radioisotopes and He accumulation in deep sea sediments of the Ontong Java Pl...

The accumulation of extraterrestrial 3He, a tracer for interplanetary dust particles (IDPs), in sediments from the Ontong Java Plateau (OJP; western equatorial Pacific Ocean)...

Foraminiferal faunal estimates of paleotemperature: Circumventing the no-anal...

The sensitivity of the tropics to climate change, particularly the amplitude of glacial-to-interglacial changes in sea surface temperature (SST), is one of the great...
