Journal ArticleDOI
Balancing the deglacial global carbon budget: the hydrate factor
TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of gas hydrates to the deglacial rise in atmospheric methane has been investigated, and it was shown that global carbon models will have to incorporate glacial-interglacial vegetation shifts of at least 1000 GtC, which many currently find difficult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Living foraminifera and total populations in salt marsh peat cores: Kelsey Marsh (Clinton, CT) and the Great Marshes (Barnstable, MA)
H. Saffert,Ellen Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In a recent study as mentioned in this paper, the authors found that most species of intertidal agglutinated benthic foraminifera in salt marshes in Massachusetts and Connecticut live predominantly at the marsh surface and in the topmost sediment (O-2.5 cm), but a considerable part of the fauna lives at depths of 2.5-15 cm.

Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Cenozoic deep-sea benthic foraminiferal faunas in Antarctic waters
TL;DR: In this article, the benthic foraminiferal faunas show only minor differences as a result of the difference in water depths between the sites, and changes in faunal composition were coeval.
Journal ArticleDOI
The middle Eocene climatic optimum (MECO): A multiproxy record of paleoceanographic changes in the southeast Atlantic (ODP Site 1263, Walvis Ridge)
F. Boscolo Galazzo,Ellen Thomas,Ellen Thomas,Mark Pagani,C. Warren,Valeria Luciani,Luca Giusberti +6 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated the paleoceanographic, paleoenvironmental, and paleoecological repercussions of the middle Eocene climatic optimum (MECO, ~40 Ma) in the southeast Atlantic subtropical gyre (Ocean Drilling Program Site 1263).
