Pollen analyses of sediment core GeoB9508-5
Millennial-scale dry events in the Northern Hemisphere monsoon regions during the last Glacial period are commonly attributed to southward shifts of the Intertropical... -
Planktonic foraminiferal (Globigerinoides ruber) Mg/Ca ratios and SSTs of sed...
Multidecadal variations in Atlantic sea surface temperatures (SST) influence the climate of the Northern Hemisphere. However, prior to the instrumental time period, information... -
Climatic records of the late Holocene from sediment core GeoB9504-3 off Senegal
High-resolution climatic records of the late Holocene along the north-west African continental margin are scarce. Here we combine sediment grain size, elemental distribution and... -
TEX86H proxy and BIT index of sediment core GeoB9528-3 and reconstructed temp...
Changes in the strength of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are known to have profound impacts on global climate. Coupled modelling studies have suggested... -
Age models, organic analyses and major-element analyses of sediment cores on ...
The distribution of rainfall in tropical Africa is controlled by the African rainbelt1, which oscillates on a seasonal basis. The rainbelt has varied on centennial to millennial... -
Stable hydrogen isotopic composition (dD) and stable carbon isotopic composit...
To reconstruct variability of the West African monsoon and associated vegetation changes on precessional and millennial time scales, we analyzed a marine sediment core from the... -
Stable isotopes and Mg/Ca measurements of two sediment cores in the northeast...
Two SST records based on Mg/Ca of G. ruber (pink) from the continental slope off West Africa at 15°N and 12°N shed new light on the thermal bipolar seesaw pattern in the... -
A 31,000-year high-resolution record from two sediment cores off northwest Af...
Benthic foraminiferal assemblage compositions and sedimentary geochemical parameters were analyzed in two radiocarbon dated sediment cores from the upwelling area off NW Africa... -
Pollen and organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages of sediment core Ge...
Pollen and organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages from core GeoB 9503-5 retrieved from the mud-belt ( 50 m water depth) off the Senegal River mouth have been analyzed to... -
Dinoflagellate cysts and pollen distribution of marine surface sediments off ...
An organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst analysis was carried out on 53 surface sediment samples from West Africa (17-6°N) to obtain insight in the relationship between their... -
Chemistry and grain-size distribution of terrigenous sediments deposited at S...
The Sahara Desert is the largest source of mineral dust in the world. Emissions of African dust increased sharply in the early 1970s, a change that has been attributed mainly to... -
Ladderane lipid analysis and pore water and sediment chemistry of sediment co...
The presence and abundance of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria was investigated in continental shelf and slope sediments (300-3000 m water depth) off northwest... -
Porewater and solid-phase phosphorus geochemistry in surface sediments of sed...
Despite intensive research on the different domains of the marine phosphorus (P) cycle during the last decades, frequently discussed open questions still exist especially on... -
Rock magnetic, element, and color data of three sediment cores along the Sene...
We present a suite of new high-resolution records (0-135 ka) representing pulses of aeolian, fluvial, and biogenic sedimentation along the Senegalese continental margin. A... -
Grain-size distribution, sedimentation rate and x-ray fluorescence data of fo...
Fine-grained sediment depocenters on continental shelves are of increased scientific interest since they record environmental changes sensitively. A north-south elongated mud... -
Stable oxygen and carbon isotopes ratios of sediment core GeoB9528-3
The carbon isotopic composition of individual plant leaf waxes (a proxy for C3 vs. C4 vegetation) in a marine sediment core collected from beneath the plume of Sahara-derived... -
Age model, isotope analyses, geochemical measurements and grain size analyses...
The influence of the large-scale ocean circulation on Sahel rainfall is elusive because of the shortness of the observational record. We reconstructed the history of eolian and... -
Compilation of 220 sediment core δ¹³C data from the glacial Atlantic Ocean
We compare a compilation of 220 sediment core d13C data from the glacial Atlantic Ocean with three-dimensional ocean circulation simulations including a marine carbon cycle... -
