The North Iceland shelf bears essential components of the present surface and intermediate
circulation of the northern North Atlantic. Instrumental and historical data give evidence of …

Morphological analysis of 70 globally distributed Holocene sediment assemblages of the
calcareous marine phytoplankton genus Gephyrocapsa (Prymnesiophyta) displays …

The traditional interpretation of Coccolithus pelagicus as a cold water proxy is examined
based on its distribution patterns in the water column off the Portuguese coast (using data …

Early Toarcian organic-rich sediments, reflecting the Lower Jurassic oceanic anoxic event,
were investigated in the Brown Moor Borehole, North Yorkshire (northern England) …

In this chapter we present a revision of the biogeographical distribution of five
coccolithophorid species (Coccolithus pelagicus, Calcidiscus leptoporus, Heli-cosphaera …

In order to assess the significance of calcifying organisms for the carbonate budget it is
necessary to have reliable estimates of the relative proportion of carbonate production of the …

Coccolithophores were investigated in both numerous plankton samples and surface
sediments from across the entire Nordic Seas. Cell numbers of living coccolithophore …

Belemnite rostra from the Grey Shale and Jet Rock Members of the Lower Toarcian Whitby
Mudstone Formation (England) record fluctuations in oxygen and carbon stable-isotope …

Coccolithophores are major producers of ocean biogenic calcite, but this process is
predicted to be negatively affected by future ocean acidification scenarios. Since …

A quantitative analysis was carried out on coccolith assemblages from two Pleistocene
cores (K1 and K10) from the western Mediterranean. The distribution of selected …
