Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean ventilation during the last 12,000 years: Hypothesis of counterpoint deep water production
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiocarbon data on selected planktonic foraminifera species and found that differential dissolution reduces the 14 C C ratio in planktonite tests, removing 14C-rich specimens from assemblages of surface-dwelling species.
30. diatom productivity and preservation in the western equatorial pacific: the quaternary record1
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on diatom abundance and preservation stratigraphy in the uppermost four cores of Ocean Drilling Program Hole 806B, which span the Quaternary period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pleistocene dissolution fluctuations from apparent depth of deposition in Core ERDC-127P, west-equatorial Pacific
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used shell preservation in a resistant species of planktonic foraminifera (Pulleniatina obliquiloculata) to predict the grain-size distributions which could be expected in non-diagenetic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Scale of the Wisconsin/Holocene Transition: Oxygen Isotope Record in the Western Equatorial Pacific
TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of both published and new oxygen isotope and radiocarbon data from the west equatorial Pacific (7 box cores, two piston cores, 2 gravity cores) indicates that there was no significant input of meltwater to the ocean before 14,000 14C yr B.P.
Journal ArticleDOI
The early Matuyama Diatom Maximum off SW Africa: a conceptual model
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simple conceptual model as a first step in formalizing a possible forcing mechanism responsible for the record of opal deposition in the upwelling system off Namibia.
