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...

Glacial North Atlantic: Sea surface conditions reconstructed by GLAMAP 2000

The response of the tropical ocean to global climate change and the extent of sea ice in the glacial nordic seas belong to the great controversies in paleoclimatology. Our new...

Mapping of C4 plant input from North West Africa into North East Atlantic sed...

Mapping the abundance of 13C in leaf-wax components in surface sediments recovered from the seafloor off northwest Africa (0–35°N) reveals a clear pattern of delta13C...

Isopollen maps for 18,000 years B.P. of the offshore of Northwest Africa: Evi...

Distribution patterns of the most important pollen types from southern European and northwest African source areas for the 18,000 years B.P. time slice are reconstructed from...

Pollen analysis of surface sediment off northwest Africa

Over 100 samples of recent surface sediments from the bottomn of the Atlantic Ocean offshore NW Africa between 34° and 6° N have been analysed palynologically. The objective of...

Composition of the sand fraction of sediment cores from the West-African cont...

Seven cores from the West African continental margin in 12-18° N have been investigated by means of a coarse fraction analysis.Four of the seven cores contain allochthonous...

Stable isotope record of planktic foraminifera sampled by plankton haul and i...

Foraminifera shells from modern sediments document the hydrography of the coastal upwelling region off Northwest-Africa (12-35° N) through the stable isotopic composition of...

Age models, accumulation rates, and grain size distributions of sediment core...

The terrigenous sediment proportion of the deep sea sediments from off Northwest Africa has been studied in order to distinguish between the aeolian and the fluvial sediment...

Quantitative composition and distribution of the silt fraction in surface sed...

Surface sediments from the continental slope and rise of North-West Africa between the Canary lslands and the Cape Verde Islands are mainly composed of silt-sized material (2-63...

Benthic foraminifera of surface samples and sediment cores off Senegal and Ga...

Water depth zonation of fifty nine benthonic foraminiferal species in marine sediment surfaces has been described. Some species are combined to groups which mark particular...

Sedimentology and geochemistry of the sand fraction in surface sediments off ...

Surface sediments from 5 profiles between 30 and 3000 m water depth off W Africa (12-19° N) have been studied for their sand fraction composition and their total calcium...
