The “biological pump” is the process by which photosynthetically-produced organic matter in
the ocean descends from the surface layer to depth by a combination of sinking particles …

Present day hydrographic conditions along the western Iberian margin are characterized by
seasonal upwelling with filaments that can penetrate more than 200 km into the open ocean …

The purpose of this book is to provide timely and comprehensive information on extant
planktic foraminifers. This book is based on 'Modern Planktonic Foraminifera'published by …

Planktonic foraminifera preserved in marine sediments archive the physical and chemical
conditions under which they built their shells. To interpret the paleoceanographic …

Planktic foraminiferal flux data from time-series sediment trap observations have been
compiled from 42 sites across the world's oceans, comprising a variety of oceanographic …

Sea Surface Temperature (SST), river discharge and biological productivity have been
reconstructed from a multi-proxy study of a high-temporal-resolution sedimentary sequence …

The eastern boundary of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre extends from the northern tip of
the Iberian Peninsula at 43 N to south of Senegal at about 10 N, approximately the range of …

Planktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent
fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different …

We report high resolution molecular abundance data for alkenones, dinosterol, long chain
diols and n-alkanols from ODP Site 658 (20° 45′ N, 18° 35′ W; 2263m water depth) …

Planktonic foraminifer tests are major archives of environmental change and provide a
multitude of proxies in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. The application of such …
