On the cruises 3 and 15 of R.V. "Meteor" 6 grab samples, and 6 hauls with the 6 m Agassiztrawl were taken and at 2 stations the deep sea camera was lowered. This material gave... -
Distribution of marine fungi in the North Sea
The ecology of the lower marine fungi, namely the thraustochytrides, in the Fladen Ground area (FLEX box) and other parts of the North Sea was studied during 5 cruises in 1975... -
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... -
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... -
Distribution of benthic foraminifera in surface sediments on the continental ...
The benthic foraminiferal populations along three traverses across the Northwest African continental margin were analyzed on the base of ca. 60 surface sediment samples. Depth... -
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... -
Age determination of sediment cores from the shelf off Mauretania, West Africa
The 60 km wide shelf off Mauritania is cut by several submarine canyons. Its water-circulation is controlled by the cool Canary current and upwelling.Its Recent sediments show... -
Distribution of benthic foraminifera in surface sediments of the Portuguese c...
Living and dead benthic Foraminifera of 26 sediment surface samples from the East Atlantic continental margin (off Portugal) are studied. The stations are located on two... -

Great Meteor Seamount (GMS) is a very large (24,000 km3) guyot with a flat summit plateau at 330-275 m; it has a volcanic core, capped by 150-600 m of post-Middle-Miocene... -
Description of recent sediments of the East African continental margin
Recent sediments off East Africa coast show 5 fades, parallel the coast: biogene carbonate sand, olivgrey mud, foraminiferal sand, globigerine ooze, and deep sea clay. These...
