Journal ArticleDOI

Barite fronts in continental margin sediments: a new look at barium remobilization in the zone of sulfate reduction and formation of heavy barites in diagenetic fronts

TL;DR: In this article, micro-crystalline barites recovered by deep-sea drilling from Site 684 on the Peru margin and Site 799 in the Japan Sea are highly enriched in the heavy sulfur isotope relative to seawater (δ34S up to + 84%).
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective preservation of organic matter in marine environments; processes and impact on the sedimentary record

TL;DR: The main theme of the workshop as discussed by the authors was to understand the impact of selective degradation/preservation of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments on the interpretation of the fossil record, including the influence of the molecular composition of OM in relation to the biological and physical depositional environment, including new methods for determining complex organic biomolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature and salinity variations of Mediterranean Sea surface waters over the last 16,000 years from records of planktonic stable oxygen isotopes and alkenone unsaturation ratios

TL;DR: Alkenone unsaturation ratios and planktonic d18O records from sediment cores of the Alboran, Ionian and Levantine basins in the Mediterranean Sea show pronounced variations in paleo-temperatures and -salinities of surface waters over the last 16,000 years as discussed by the authors.

Upwelling systems : evolution since the Early Miocene

TL;DR: In this article, the authors look at the fossil and chemical record of change in upwelling since extensive glaciation began in Miocene times, focusing on results from deep ocean drilling expeditions.
