Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the paleoceanographical proxies based on
deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics, and presents the following three …

Understanding past human–climate–environment interactions is essential for assessing the
vulnerability of landscapes and ecosystems to future climate change. This is particularly …

" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad-
ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …

The carbon isotopic composition of individual plant leaf waxes (a proxy for C3 vs. C4
vegetation) in a marine sediment core collected from beneath the plume of Sahara-derived …

This is the first-ever regional study of the geomorphology of the world's deserts,
demonstrating why different deserts have special landscape features and land-forming …

Under certain conditions, sediment cores from coastal settings subject to hypoxia can yield
records of environmental changes over time scales ranging from decades to millennia …

We examine the quantitative composition of benthic foraminiferal assemblages of Rose
Bengal-stained surface samples from 37 stations in the Laptev Sea, and combine this data …

Time series of terrigenous source elements (Al, K, Ti, Zr) from core GeoB4901-8 recovered
from the deep-sea fan of the Niger River record variations in riverine sediment discharge …

Climate-driven Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) expansions in the geologic record provide an
opportunity to characterize the spatial and temporal scales of OMZ change. Here we …

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) …
