Calcite saturation and dissolution index of core-top sediment samples from th...
X-ray computed tomography (CT) provides an insight into the progression of dissolution in the tests of planktonic foraminifera. Four species of foraminifera (G. ruber [white],... -
Organic carbon accumulation in the South Atlantic Ocean
A compilation of 1118 surface sediment samples from the South Atlantic was used to map modern seafloor distribution of organic carbon content in this ocean basin. Using new data... -
Stable isotope and Cd/Ca ratios of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma in high-latitu...
Recent studies have stressed the role of high latitude nutrient levels and productivity in controlling the carbon isotopic composition of the deep sea and the CO2 content of the... -
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... -
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... -
Age determination of sediment cores from the North Atlantic
Evidence from North Atlantic deep sea cores reveals that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate. During each... -
Stable isotope record of foraminifera from the Southern Ocean
Sediment cores from the southern continental margin of Australia are near the formation region of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) and Subantarctic Mode Water and record the... -
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... -
Estimates of annual mean surface temperatures in the late Quaternary of the t...
At least two modes of glacial-interglacial climate change have existed within the tropical Atlantic Ocean during the last 20,000 years. The first mode (defined by cold glacial... -
Comparison of glacial/interglacial carbonate concentrations in Atlantic sedim...
To assess the regional effects of glaciation on sedimentation in the Atlantic Ocean we compare sediment types, distributions, and rates between Recent (core top) and last... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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...
