Mollusk shells contain many isotopic clues about calcification physiology and environmental
conditions at the time of shell formation. In this review, we use both published and …

Foraminifera commonly dominate ocean-floor eukaryotic communities. They also are the
most abundant benthic organisms to be preserved in the post-Paleozoic deep-sea fossil …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

Progress in understanding global biogeochemical cycles has been made on many fronts of
organic geochemical study over the last decade. Key questions, however, remain to be …

Deep-sea benthic foraminifera from Norwegian Sea surface sediments are classified into
morphotypes on the basis of test shape and nature of test coiling and show distinct patterns …

For more than a decade I have taught a graduate-level course in marine sediment
geochemistry that covers many of the topics discussed in this book. The goal now is to …

DetailedCd/Ca andδ 13 C data have been obtained for benthic foraminifera from western
North Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific sediment cores. In the modern ocean, both tracers are …

The molecular diffusion coefficients of dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2), bicarbonate ion
(HCO3-), and carbonate ion (CO32-) are fundamental physico-chemical constants and are …

The oceanic distribution of cadmium resembles that of phosphorus. Because the cadmium
content of foraminiferal shells is governed by the cadmium content of seawater, planktonic …

Accurate records of the state of the ocean carbonate system are critical for understanding
past changes in pCO2, ocean acidification and climate. The chemical principles underlying …
