Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the clay minerals, deep circulation, and climate.
Clay minerals are the main constituents of recent deep-sea or abyssal sediments. Their role …

The mechanisms governing the development of deep-sea fans is a matter of debate and
their understanding at Milankovitch and millenial time-scales is challenged by complex …

Although grassland and savanna occupy only a quarter of the world's vegetation, burning in
these ecosystems accounts for roughly half the global carbon emissions from fire. However …

The paleoecological interpretation of fossil foraminiferal assemblages depends on an
understanding of the ecological processes operating at the present. This study investigates …

Although phosphate ion (hereafter “P”) sorption is known to influence clay surface reactivity
and trace metal behavior in the environment, there is still a lack of in situ spectroscopic …

The precise reason for the differences and out-of-phase relationship between the abrupt
Dansgaard-Oeschger warmings in the Nordic seas and Greenland ice cores and the …

The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), at ca. 55.8 Ma, is one of the most
studied instances of past greenhouse gas-induced global warming. As such, it provides a …

Iron is known to stimulate surface ocean productivity, as well as intervene with bacterially-
mediated processes of organic matter remineralization, during early diagenesis. In this …

Pollen and clay mineralogical analyses of a Holocene sequence from Sebkha Boujmel
(southern Tunisia) trace the climatic and environmental dynamics in the lower arid …

Sorption behaviors of copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in a stormwater constructed
wetland (CW) have been investigated by combining CW sample analysis and batch sorption …
