Assessing the ability of the 14C projection-age method to constrain the circulation of the past in a 3-D ocean model [PDF]
Radiocarbon differences between benthic and planktonic foraminifera (B-P ages) and radiocarbon projection ages are both used to determine changes of the past ocean circulation rate.

ABSTRACT During the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). This climatic event caused a widespread ocean deoxygenation, leading to substantial biotic turnover.

The sedimentary legacy of a palaeo-ice stream on the shelf of the southern Bellingshausen Sea: Clues to West Antarctic glacial history during the Late Quaternary [PDF]
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 trough mouth fan ("Belgica TMF") on the adjacent continental slope.

Abstract Deep‐water of the eastern Mediterranean basins mainly forms in the Adriatic Sea and episodically in the Aegean Sea. However, past and future variability under changing temperature and freshwater inputs remains unclear. We reconstruct seawater εNd from Northern Ionian Sea cores to trace intermediate‐ and deep‐water provenance during the ...

History of oceanic front development in the New Zealand sector of the Southern Ocean during the Cenozoic--a synthesis [PDF]
The New Zealand sector of the Southern Ocean (NZSSO) has opened about the Indian-Pacific spreading ridge throughout the Cenozoic. Today the NZSSO is characterised by broad zonal belts of antarctic (cold), subantarctic (cool), and subtropical (warm ...

Shelf-Ocean material exchange influencing the Atlantic chemical composition off NW Iberian margin since the last glaciation [PDF]
Rivers are the main conduit of sediment to the shelf. The basin geology, the drainage area and the discharge rate are the major factors that determine their sediment load (Milliman and Syvistski, 1992).

X-raying planktonic foraminifera [PDF]
Abstract. X-raying planktonic foraminifera provides a rapid, efficient and cost-effective method of recording many specimens for biometric analysis. A new approach is here proposed which replaces previous complicated techniques.

Reduced sediment accumulation rate enhances early marine diagenesis of periplatform sediments
The influence of reduced sediment accumulation rate on early marine burial diagenesis was investigated in sediments collected by ODP Leg 133. Results show that low sediment accumulation rates can produce substantial and asynchronous shifts in stable carbon isotope ratios across a slope transect without the development of sedimentological indicators of ...
