Analysis of Fe-Mn-deposits from the ocean

A compilation of published and unpublished chemical analyses of samples of ferromanganese deposits from the ocean floor reveals that only in relatively few areas of the world...

Global compilation of benthic data sets I

Approaches to quantify the organic carbon accumulation on a global scale generally do not consider the small-scale variability of sedimentary and oceanographic boundary...

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...

Sr/Ca and Cd/Ca ratios of benthic foraminifera in surface deep-sea sediments

Measurements of Sr/Ca of benthic foraminifera show a linear decrease with water depth which is superimposed upon significant variability identified by analyses of individual...

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...
