Marco Roveri,Rachel Flecker,Wout Krijgsman,Johanna Lofi,Stefano Lugli,Vinicio Manzi,Francisco Javier Sierro,Adele Bertini,Angelo Camerlenghi,Gert J. de Lange,Rob Govers,Frits Hilgen,Christian Hübscher,Paul Meijer,Marius Stoica +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a unifying stratigraphic framework of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) events has been constructed, derived mainly from onshore data and observations, but incorporating different perspectives for the offshore and provides hypotheses that can be tested by drilling the deep Mediterranean basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Enigma of Prokaryotic Life in Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins
Paul W. J. J. van der Wielen,Henk Bolhuis,Sara Borin,Daniele Daffonchio,Cesare Corselli,Laura Giuliano,Giuseppe D'Auria,Gert J. de Lange,Andreas Huebner,Sotirios P. Varnavas,John Thomson,Christian Tamburini,Danielle Marty,Terry J. McGenity,Kenneth N. Timmis,BioDeep Scientific Party +15 more
TL;DR: This study revealed that deep hypersaline anoxic basins in the Mediterranean Sea are not biogeochemical dead ends, but support in situ sulfate reduction, methanogenesis, and heterotrophic activity, and demonstrated the presence of a unique, metabolically active microbial community in the Discovery basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronous basin-wide formation and redox-controlled preservation of a Mediterranean sapropel
Gert J. de Lange,John Thomson,Anja Reitz,Caroline P. Slomp,M. Speranza Principato,Elisabetta Erba,Cesare Corselli +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed at high resolution the differences in the composition of the most recent sapropel, S1, in a suite of cores covering the entire eastern Mediterranean basin and concluded that climate-induced stratification of the ocean may contribute to enhanced preservation of organic matter in sapropels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mobilization of radiocaesium in pore water of lake sediments
Rob N.J. Comans,Jack J. Middelburg,Jan Zonderhuis,J.R.W Woittiez,Gert J. de Lange,H. A. Das,Cornelis H. Van der Weijden +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pore-water data indicate that radiocaesium is returned to the water column and thus becomes available for uptake by aquatic organisms, probably caused by ion exchange with NH4+ which reaches high concentrations in anoxic pore waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preservation of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts in different oxygen regimes: a 10,000 year natural experiment
TL;DR: Data is presented on the effects of oxygen availability in bottom sediments on a cyst assemblage from the ungraded Madeira Abyssal Plain f-turbidite of which only the upper layer has been oxidized, and the influence ofoxy availability on the preservation of individual species has been estimated.
