Comparison of radiolarian and sedimentologic paleoproductivity proxies in the latest Miocene–Recent Benguela Upwelling System
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of paleoproductivity proxies in latest Miocene-Recent sediments from DSDP Site 532 and ODP Site 1084, two deep-sea sections underlying the Benguela Upwelling System off the Atlantic coast of southern Africa.
Book ChapterDOI
An Overview of Sediment Organic Matter Records of Human Eutrophication in the Laurentian Great Lakes Region
TL;DR: The isotopic and molecular compositions of organic matter buried in lake sediments provide information that helps to reconstruct past environmental conditions and to assess impacts of humans on local ecosystems as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to assess the impacts of human-induced environmental changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the Upper Cretaceous section, more than 200 beds of gray or black shale and mudstone rich in organic carbon (as much as 18%) are intercalated within a sequence of red and green mudstones that contain less than 1% organic carbon as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentary biomarker and isotopic indicators of the paleoclimatic history of the Walker Lake basin, western Nevada
Philip A. Meyers,Larry Benson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated organic matter 6 ~3C and C/N values and lipid biomarker contents of sediments deposited at various periods over the past 150 thousand years of lake history.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of different wetness conditions on Sphagnum lipid composition in the Erxianyan peatland, central China
TL;DR: The occurrence of a high abundance of 7-methylheptadecane in submerged S. palustre is an indication of cyanobacteria in the living peat moss, and the relatively 13C-depleted carbon isotope values of the n-C23 alkane could result from the influence of symbiotic methanotrophs on the carbon available for assimilation by S. Palustre.
