This study focuses on the vertical distribution of authigenic carbonates (aragonite and high
Mg-calcite) in the form of finely disseminated precipitates as well as massive carbonate …

In this study we demonstrate the relevance of lateral particle transport in nepheloid layers for
organic carbon (OC) accumulation and burial across high-productive continental margins …

In this study we present a global distribution pattern and budget of the minimum flux of
particulate organic carbon to the sea floor (JPOCα). The estimations are based on regionally …

Recent benthic foraminifera (> 125 μm) were investigated from multicorer samples on a
latitudinal transect of 20 stations between 1° N and 32° S along the upper slope off West …

Deep sea sediment samples from the South Atlantic Ocean were analyzed for soot black
carbon (BC), total organic carbon (TOC), stable carbon isotope ratios (δ13C), and polycyclic …

Black carbon (BC) is ubiquitous in pelagic sediments and presumed to have an older
radiocarbon age due to long ocean residence times and pre-aging in terrestrial soils. Here …

n-Alcohol biomarkers from sediment trap samples collected during a turbiditic event and
surficial sediments on a levee of the Zaire canyon (Equatorial West African margin), one of …

Terrestrial organic matter (TOM) in surface sediments from the lower Yangtze River and
adjacent East China Sea (ECS) shelf was characterized using elemental, stable carbon …

Geochemical data (total organic carbon-TOC content, δ 13 Corg, C: N, Rock-Eval analyses)
were obtained on 150 core tops from the Angola basin, with a special focus on the Congo …

The contribution of soil organic matter (SOM) to continental margins is largely ignored in
studies on the carbon budget of marine sediments. Detailed geochemical investigations of …
