Journal ArticleDOI
Threshold of sediment motion under unidirectional currents
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Shields-type threshold diagram is presented for sediment movement under unidirectional flow conditions, which extends the limits of the original diagram by three orders of magnitude in the grain-Reynolds number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size spectra and aggregation of suspended particles in the deep ocean
I. N. McCave,I. N. McCave +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the role of large particles in the removal of fine particles by shear-controlled coagulation and concluded that the flat size distributions are quasi-stationary results of shear control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Ocean Temperature and Ice Volume Through the Mid-Pleistocene Climate Transition
Henry Elderfield,Patrizia Ferretti,Mervyn Greaves,Simon J Crowhurst,I. N. McCave,David A. Hodell,Alexander M Piotrowski +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the MPT was initiated by an abrupt increase in Antarctic ice volume 900 thousand years ago, and reveal the contributions of ice volume and temperature to glacial cycles, suggest when and why the Mid-Pleistocene Climate Transition occurred, and clarify how carbon is lost from the ocean-atmosphere during deglaciations but also changes because of ocean circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sortable silt and fine sediment size/composition slicing: Parameters for palaeocurrent speed and palaeoceanography
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the size distribution of the removed component by repeated size measurement with intermediate steps of removal of components by dissolution, allowing inference of the size distributions of removed component as well as the residue.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical flux of particles in the ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that most material reaching the bottom of the ocean does so rapidly in aggregates, and that most of the particle flux, the product of settling velocity and mass, is in the coarser size classes.
