TLDR
In this paper, the authors determined benthic foraminiferal fauna and isotopic compositions in two 210 Pb dated box cores to examine the evidence for nearshore hypoxia and freshwater discharge on the Texas shelf during the last 100 years.

Foraminifera and their Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a state-of-the-art overview of all aspects of pure and applied foraminifera studies, including biology, ecology, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy.

Microbiotic signatures of the Anthropocene in marginal marine and freshwater palaeoenvironments

TL;DR: The term "Anthropocene" has been proposed to indicate a geological interval character- ized by global anthropogenic environmental change as mentioned in this paper, which can be defined micropalaeontologically by considering microfloras and microfaunas from nearshore waters through to paralic and freshwater aquatic milieux.

Event-driven deltaic sedimentation on a low-gradient, low-energy shelf: The Brazos River subaqueous delta, northwestern Gulf of Mexico

TL;DR: In this article, a series of 33 submersible vibra cores collected across the subaqueous delta reveal alternating beds of Brazos River derived sediment and Gulf of Mexico shelf dominated sediment.

Molecular characterization of benthic foraminifera communities from the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico shelf and slope following the Deepwater Horizon event

TL;DR: In this article, a Shipek grab along transects on the northwest Florida Gulf of Mexico (GOM) shelf (18-270m depth) was used for sequence analysis of benthic foraminifera.

Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present

TL;DR: This work focuses primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxygen isotope fractionation in divalent metal carbonates

TL;DR: In this article, the fractionation factors for the distribution of 18O between alkaline-earth carbonates and water have been measured over the temperature range 0 −500°C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equilibrium and nonequilibrium oxygen isotope effects in synthetic carbonates

TL;DR: A suite of divalent metal (Ca, Cd, Ba) carbonates was synthesized over the temperature range 10-40°C by the classical method of slowly bubbling N 2 through a bicarbonate solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sea-level and deep water temperature changes derived from benthic foraminifera isotopic records

TL;DR: In this paper, robust regressions were established between relative sea-level (RSL) data and benthic foraminifera oxygen isotopic ratios from the North Atlantic and Equatorial Pacific Ocean over the last climatic cycle.
Book

Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera

TL;DR: This book presents the ecological background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including changes of sea level and demonstrates how living foraminifera can be used to monitor modern-day environmental change.
