The contributions of various calcifying plankton to the South Atlantic calcium carbonate stock [PDF]
BiogeosciencesPelagic calcifying plankton play an important role in the marine carbon cycle. However, field studies quantifying the contributions of multiple calcifying plankton groups to particulate inorganic carbon (PIC) stocks and export into the ocean interior are

Biostratigraphic Study of the Gurpi Formation Based on Planktonic Foraminifera In Lar Area (Kuh-e-kurdeh Section) [PDF]
, 2009 The study of planktonic foraminifera of the Gurpi formations at Lar area (Kuh-e-kurdeh section) enables me to find the most standard biozones defined in mediterranean regions, especially Tethysian domain. Five biozones were determined.

Coupled Mg/Ca and clumped isotope analyses of foraminifera provide consistent water temperatures [PDF]
, 2018 The reliable determination of past seawater temperature is fundamental to paleoclimate studies. We test the robustness of two paleotemperature proxies by combining Mg/Ca and clumped isotopes (Δ47) on the same specimens of core top planktonic foraminifera.
