Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of the alkenone paleotemperature index U37K′ based on core-tops from the eastern South Atlantic and the global ocean (60°N-60°S)
TL;DR: In this article, a sediment-based calibration of the U37K′ paleotemperature index is presented, based on the analysis of 149 surface sediments from the eastern South Atlantic in order to define the most suitable calibration for this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
An automated leaching method for the determination of opal in sediments and particulate matter
Peter J Müller,Ralph R Schneider +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an automated leaching method for the analysis of biogenic silica (opal) in sediments and particulate matter is described, where opaline material is extracted with 1 M NaOH at 85°C in a stainless steel vessel under constant stirring, and the increase in dissolved silica is continuously monitored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and slowdown of thermohaline circulation during the last deglaciation
TL;DR: In this paper, a high-temporal-resolution record of sea surface temperatures from the western tropical North Atlantic Ocean which spans the past 29,000 years, derived from measurements of temperature-sensitive alkenone unsaturation in sedimentary organic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediterranean Moisture Source for an Early-Holocene Humid Period in the Northern Red Sea
TL;DR: It is concluded that Afro-Asian monsoonal rains did not cross the subtropical desert zone during the early to mid-Holocene and is best explained by enhancement and southward extension of rainfall from Mediterranean sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing sea surface temperature and salinity using δ 18 O and alkenone records
Frauke Rostek,Frauke Rostek,Götz Ruhlandt,Franck Bassinot,Peter J Müller,Laurent Labeyrie,Yves Lancelot,Edouard Bard +7 more
TL;DR: This article used a combination of oxygen isotope and alkenone records in a deep-sea core from the juncture of the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal to extract the salinity signal from the former record.
