Journal ArticleDOI
Injection events in ocean history
TL;DR: The reconnection, with the world ocean, of temporarily isolated ocean basins results in injection either of hyper-saline waters favouring abyssal stratification and stagnation, or of brackish Waters from high latitudes leading to a low salinity surface layer as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep-sea carbonate: pteropod distribution and the aragonite compensation depth
TL;DR: The aragonite compensation depth (ACD), the depth in the ocean at which pteropods disappear, varies greatly between and within ocean basins, with the Atlantic having typical values between 2 and 3 km, and Pacific and Indian oceans values between 0.5 and 1.5 km as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Box cores from the equatorial Pacific: 14C sedimentation rates and benthic mixing
TL;DR: Carbon-14 determinations on box cores of calcareous ooze from the western and eastern equatorial Pacific suggest that patterns of mixedlayer ages, sedimentation rates, and mixed-layer thicknesses are controlled by gradients of carbonate dissolution and fertility, and by small-scale redeposition processes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplitude variations of 1470-year climate oscillations during the last 100,000 years linked to fluctuations of continental ice mass
TL;DR: In this paper, amplitude variations of a 1470-year (y) signal in the oxygen isotope record from the GISP2 ice-core as a function of continental ice mass as recorded in sea-level variations are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fecal pellet flux to modern bottom sediment of Santa Barbara Basin (California) based on sediment trapping
TL;DR: Fecal pellets constituted more than 60% of the material collected during 45 days of deployment of a suitcase-type sediment trap in the Santa Barbara Basin this article, which can account for about one-half of the sediment flux to the central basin floor, including the supply of terrigenous matter.
