Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

Spatial and seasonal contrasts of sedimentary organic matter in floodplain lakes of the central Amazon basin [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the seasonal andspatial pattern of sedimentary organic matter (SOM) in fivefloodplain lakes of the central Amazon basin (Cabaliana,Janauaca, Canaçari, Mirituba and Curuai) which have differentmorphologies, hydrodynamics and

Abstract Reliable paleotemperature proxies are essential for reconstructing past climate. To refine interpretation of the MBT'5ME index, based on bacterial brGDGT lipids, a year‐long study was conducted in Rotsee, Switzerland, a seasonally stratified lake with a 4–21°C temperature range.

Stepwise Cooling Events in the Western Arctic at 8.2 and 4.2 ka: Proxy Development and Application
Abstract Hydroxylated glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT)‐based proxies have recently been proposed for reconstructing sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in polar oceans, but their reliability has not yet been sufficiently validated. We investigated the spatial distribution of hydroxylated GDGTs in surface sediments from the western Arctic Ocean ...

Biomarker evidence of a serpentinite chemosynthetic biosphere at the Mariana forearc
Present-day serpentinization systems, such as that at the Mariana forearc, are prominent sources of reduced volatiles, including molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), and are considered analogs for chemosynthetic ecosystems on early Earth.

Planktonic Lipidome Responses to Aeolian Dust Input in Low-Biomass Oligotrophic Marine Mesocosms
The effect and fate of dry atmospheric deposition on nutrient-starved plankton in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS; Crete, 2012) was tested by spiking oligotrophic surface seawater mesocosms (3 m3) with Saharan dust (SD; 1.6 g L−1; 23 nmol NOx mg−1; 2 ...

The last forests on Antarctica: Reconstructing flora and temperature from the Neogene Sirius Group, Transantarctic Mountains [PDF]
Fossil-bearing deposits in the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica indicate that, despite the cold nature of the continent’s climate, a tundra ecosystem grew during periods of ice sheet retreat in the mid to late Neogene (17–2.5 Ma), 480 km from the ...
