Zinc concentrations in benthic foraminifera reflect seawater chemistryPaleoceanography - Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang 299-306 - 2000
Thomas M. Marchitto, William B Curry, Delia W Oppo
We have measured Zn/Ca ratios in two taxa of Holocene‐aged benthic foraminifera from throughout the world's oceans. Zn/Ca is controlled by bottom water dissolved Zn concentration and, like Cd/Ca and Ba/Ca, by bottom water saturation state with respect to calcite. Measurements on “live‐collected” foraminifera suggest that the saturation effect occurs during growth and is not a postdepositio...... hiện toàn bộ
High‐amplitude variations in North Atlantic sea surface temperature during the early Pliocene warm periodPaleoceanography - Tập 24 Số 2 - 2009
K. T. Lawrence, Timothy D. Herbert, Catherine Brown, Maureen E. Raymo, Alan M. Haywood
We provide the first continuous, orbital‐resolution sea surface temperature (SST) record from the high‐latitude North Atlantic, a region critical to understanding the origin of the Plio‐Pleistocene ice ages and proximal to regions that became frequently glaciated after ∼2.7 Ma. We analyzed sediments from Ocean Drilling Program Site 982 over the last 4 Ma for their alkenone unsaturation ind...... hiện toàn bộ
A core top assessment of proxies for the ocean carbonate system in surface‐dwelling foraminifersPaleoceanography - Tập 22 Số 3 - 2007
Yunyan Ni, Gavin L. Foster, T. R. Bailey, Tim Elliott, Daniela N. Schmidt, Paul N. Pearson, Brian A. Haley, Christopher D. Coath
We have assessed the reliability of several foraminifer‐hosted proxies of the ocean carbonate system (δ11B, B/Ca, and U/Ca) using Holocene samples from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. We examined chemical variability over a range of test sizes for two surface‐dwelling foraminifers (Globigerinoides sacculifer and ... hiện toàn bộ
Determination of δ18O of Seawater in the Deep Ocean during the Last Glacial MaximumPaleoceanography - Tập 8 Số 1 - Trang 1-6 - 1993
D. P. Schrag, Donald J. DePaolo
We present a method for determining the δ18O of seawater in the deep ocean during the last glacial maximum from the measured δ18O values of deep sea pore fluids. Using data from Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) site 576 in the Western Pacific, this method yields a glacial to interglacial change in δ18Osw of...... hiện toàn bộ
Oligocene‐Miocene strontium isotopes: Stratigraphic revisions and correlations to an inferred glacioeustatic recordPaleoceanography - Tập 9 Số 3 - Trang 427-443 - 1994
Jeffrey S Oslick, Kenneth G. Miller, Mark D. Feigenson, James D. Wright
This study tests and improves on previously published early and middle Miocene 87Sr/86Sr marine correlations, presents Sr isotopic age correlations for this interval using the new timescale of Cande and Kent [1992], and evaluates Sr isotopic changes against an inferred glacioeustatic proxy. We generated a latest Oligocene...... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence from authigenic uranium for increased productivity of the glacial subantarctic oceanPaleoceanography - Tập 16 Số 5 - Trang 468-478 - 2001
Zanna Chase, Robert F. Anderson, Martin Q. Fleisher
Authigenic uranium is precipitated in reducing sediments and therefore responds both to changes in particulate organic carbon flux to the sediment and to changes in the oxygen concentration of bottom waters. By examining a large number of cores over a wide latitudinal and depth range in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, we hope to distinguish between a predominantly productivity‐d...... hiện toàn bộ
