Early Holocene climatic instability in Japan: organic geochemical evidence in sediment cores from Lake Biwa, Lake Kizaki and the Japan Sea

TL;DR: Sediment cores from Lake Biwa (Shiga Prefecture) and Lake Kizaki (Nagano Prefecture), collected by as discussed by the authors, provide evidence of variations in the climate of Japan subsequent to the end of the last glacial period, suggesting that both delivery of land derived organic matter and production of lake-derived organic matter were variable during this period of time.

11. data report: organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbonate carbon, and carbonate oxygen isotopic compositions of albian to santonian black shales from sites 1257-1261 on the demerara rise

TL;DR: In this article, organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbonate carbon, and carbonate oxygen isotopic compositions were measured for 95 samples selected from the black shale sequences drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 207 on the Demerara Rise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic geochemical character of opal-rich sediments in light-dark cycles near the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary in Deep-Sea Drilling Project Site 532, Walvis Ridge

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined early Pleistocene sediments taken at 10-cm intervals from section 532B-17-2 and found that high carbonate concentrations coincide with lower organic carbon percentages.
Book ChapterDOI

Sources and Migration of Methane-Rich Gas in Sedimentary Rocks on the Exmouth Plateau: Northwest Australian Continental Margin

TL;DR: Samples of rock obtained by drilling during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 122 on the northwest Australian margin record the accumulation of sediments from Early Cretaceous to modern times.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic geochemistry of Cretaceous organic-carbon-rich shales and limestones from the western North Atlantic Ocean

TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon isotope and molecular biomarker compositions of black shales with adjacent lithologies are compared to find evidence of enhanced preservation of marine organic matter in the darker layers.
