Clay mineraology and grain size composition of surface sediments from South P...
The reconstruction of low-latitude ocean-atmosphere interactions is one of the major issues of (paleo-)environmental studies. The trade winds, extending over 20° to 30° of... -
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... -
Sedimentological and geophysical investigation of sediment cores from the Amu...
Ice loss from the marine-based, potentially unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contributes to current sea-level rise and may raise sea level by up to 3.3 to 5 meters in... -
Petrology, geochemistry and K-Ar Age determination of De Gerlache Seamount ba...
The De Gerlache Seamounts are two topographic highs in the Bellingshausen Sea, southeastern Pacific. Petrological and geochemical studies together with K-Ar age determinations... -
Sedimentology of the southern Bellingshausen Sea
A major trough ('Belgica Trough') eroded by a palaeo-ice stream crosses the continental shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea (West Antarctica) and is associated with a... -
Sediment composition of the Central Arctic Ocean
The sediment composition of deep-sea cores from the central Arctic Ocean, the Fram Strait, and the Yermak Plateau was analyzed for several parameters to reconstruct the history... -
Grain size and description on gravity core samples from ANT-IV/2 expedition t...
From the above and the grafical results it can be concluded that cores in the research area are locally dominated by turbiditic sequences, which can be observed by a strong... -
Benthic foraminifera asemblages and isotopic composition of surface sediment ...
The influence of different primary productivity regimes on live (Rose Bengal stained) and dead benthic foraminiferal distribution, as well as on the stable carbon isotopic... -
Sedimentology of the Scoresby Sund, East Greenland
The fjord system of Scoresby Sund on the east coast of Greenland has been the subject of two research cruises by RV Polarstern in 1988 and 1990. Most of the year, the fjord is... -
Late Weichselian fluvial evolution of the southern Kara Sea
Glaciations had a profound impact on the global sea-level and particularly on the Arctic environments. One of the key questions related to this topic is, how did the discharge... -
Sediment thickness and distribution of facies types in the Kara Sea
We studied the impact of the last glacial (late Weichselian) sea level cycle on sediment architecture in the inner Kara Sea using high-resolution acoustic sub-bottom profiling.... -
Radiolarians in the Sea of Okhotsk
To assess the relationship of radiolarian production, species distribution in water and surface sediment to water-mass characteristics, biological productivity and export... -
Planktonic isotope record and clay mineralogy of sediment core PS2138-1
Improved multiparameter records from the northern Barents Sea margin show two prominent freshwater pulses into the Arctic Ocean during MIS 5 that significantly disturbed the... -
Age determination and sea-surface reconstruction of sediment cores from the N...
Polycystine radiolarians are used to reconstruct summer sea surface temperatures (SSSTs) for the Late Pleistocene-Holocene (600-13,400 14C years BP) in the Norwegian Sea. At... -
Mineralogical and chemical investigation of biogenic siliceous Antarctic deep...
The formation of marine opal-CT nodules or layers as early diagenetic deposits has been documented only in Antarctic deep-sea sediments. In contrast, porcellanites and cherts in... -
Stable isotope record of planktonic foraminifera in the Laptev Sea and the Fr...
The upper water column in the Fram Strait and the outer Laptev Sea was sampled for water column isotopes and living planktic foraminifer species Neogloboquadrina pachyderma... -
Physical properties and sedimentology of 4 profiles fom the South Atlantic
Ultrasonic P wavc transmission seismograms recorded on sediment cores have been analyzed to study the acoustic and estimate the clastic properties of marine sediments from... -
Cycladophora davisiana events in sediments of the subantarctic Atlantic Ocean
We calibrated the Cycladophora davisiana abundances versus oxygen isotope stratigraphy back to 220 ka for the subantarctic Atlantic Ocean. The relative abundances of C.... -
Clay mineralogy of ODP Leg 178 sites
The clay mineral compositions of upper Miocene to Quaternary sediments recovered at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 178, Sites 1095 and 1096, from the continental rise west of...
