1. Arctic Ocean benthic foraminifera preservation and Mg/Ca ratios : Implications for bottom water palaeothermometry
Sammanfattning : Reconstructions of Arctic Ocean palaeotemperatures are needed to disentangle natural variability from anthropogenic changes and understand the role of ocean heat transport in forcing or providing feedbacks on Arctic climate change. Despite known complications with calcareous microfossil preservation in Arctic Ocean sediments, calcareous benthic foraminifera can be common in interglacial sequences. LÄS MER
2. 231Pa and Th isotopes as tracers of deep water ventilation and scavenging in the Mediterranean Sea
Sammanfattning : The naturally occurring isotopes 231Pa and 230Th are used as tracers of marine biogeochemical processes. They are both produced from the radioactive decay of their uniformly distributed uranium parents (235U and 234U) in seawater. LÄS MER
3. Systematics and assessment of the chemosynthetic bivalve family Vesicomyidae
Sammanfattning : The deep ocean has fascinated researchers for centuries with discoveries of new ecosystems and species, yet there are still many biogeographic and evolutionary questions unanswered. Along active and passive tectonic margins, specialized ecologies thrive in a symbiosis between chemosynthesizing bacteria and their host animals. LÄS MER
4. Eastern equatorial Pacific bulk sediment properties and paleoceanography since the late Neogene
Sammanfattning : Reconstructing eastern equatorial Pacific (EEP) oceanography since the late Neogene (about 8 million years ago, Ma) is a central topic in current paleoceanographic investigations. The reason for this is two-fold. LÄS MER
