Geologist at sea: aspects of ocean history.
TL;DR: Ocean history is largely read from deep-sea sediments, using microscopic fossils, notably foraminifers, which provided for a new geologic understanding of climate change and evolution in the sea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silica depletion in the thermocline of the glacial North Pacific: corollaries and implications
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that during the last glacial period the nutrient content of the thermocline was low, and large-scale deep upwelling was absent, which prevented segregation of silicate from phosphate through partial recycling in the uppermost water column.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the pteropod pavement of the eastern Rio Grande Rise
TL;DR: A pteropod-rich surface layer covers the seafloor on the Rio Grande Rise and its vicinity in less than 3400 m water depth as mentioned in this paper, and it is shown that the pteropsides are a lag deposit, and that agitation by bottom currents delays the burial of pteropus shells.
Journal ArticleDOI
CO2 Increase and Climate Prediction: Clues from Deep-Sea Carbonates
Journal ArticleDOI
Glacial deep-water properties in the west-equatorial Pacific : bathyal thermocline near a depth of 2000 m
TL;DR: The stable isotope stratigraphy of Planulina wullerstorfi in three box cores from Ontong Java Plateau in the western equatorial Pacific showed that there existed a bathyal thermocline near the depth of 2000 m during glacial time.
