Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions occur during burial because sediments contain
reactive mixtures of oxidised and reduced components. Diagenetic chemical reactions …

In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate
the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …

The basis for, and use of, fine grain size parameters for inference of paleoflow speeds is
reviewed here. The basis resides in data on deposited sediment taken in conjunction with …

Data have been compiled from eleven sediment cores from 76° to 80° N on the western
Svalbard slope. The cores are from water depths between 630 and 1880m and show clear …

Understanding climate change is an active topic of research. Much of the observed increase
in global surface temperature over the past 150 years occurred prior to the 1940s and after …

The Tian Shan Mountains constitute central Asia's longest and highest mountain range.
Understanding their Cenozoic uplift history thus bears on mountain building processes in …

The bulk magnetic parameters of seven deep-sea cores distributed from the Nordic Seas
(67° N) to the North Atlantic as far south as the Bermuda Rise (33° N) exhibit short-term …

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 …

In the Southern Ocean, magnetic mineral concentration increases in glacial periods. The
variation pattern closely resembles eolian dust flux records from Antarctic ice cores, but the …

Oligocene-Miocene convergence of the Eurasian and Arabian plates resulted in (i) the
gradual closure of the Neo-Tethys Ocean that formed an open marine connection between …
