Quaternary contains 52 sites. Marine varve deposition and preservation typically depend on …

Increasingly, environmental scientists, palaeoceanographers and geologists are collecting
quantitative records of environmental changes (time series) from sediments, ice cores, cave …

Investigations of diatom fluxes recorded in laminated sediments using scanning electron
microscope techniques together with evidence from sediment trap studies have contributed …

Greenhouse gases, global warming, thinning ozone layers—understanding the Earth's
climatic changes is one of today's most pressing international concerns. How fast has the …

The origins of sapropels (sedimentary layers rich in organic carbon) are unclear, yet they
may be a key to understanding the influence of climate on ocean eutrophication, the …

A six-year time series of sediment trap samples is used to document seasonal and
interannual changes in particle fluxes in Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. Sedimentation in …

Piston, gravity, and multicores as well as hydrographic data were collected along the Pacific
margin of Baja California to reconstruct past variations in the intensity of the oxygen …

Laminated sediments provide a rare opportunity to examine seasonal-scale
ocean/atmosphere variation during abrupt climate transitions. Seasonal-scale changes …

The North American monsoon (NAM), an onshore wind shift occurring between July and
September, has evolved in character during the Holocene largely due to changes in …

Particle fluxes were measured in the center of Santa Barbara Basin on a bi-weekly basis for
a three-year period beginning in August 1993. Lithogenic material dominates the total flux …
