Journal ArticleDOI
Role of large particles in the transport of elements and organic compounds through the oceanic water column
Scott W. Fowler,George A. Knauer +1 more
TL;DR: The role of large detrital particles in the downward vertical mass flux in the sea has been investigated in a variety of sources, including sediment trap data as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that the relatively rare, large particles sinking through the water column are responsible for the majority of the downward mass flux.
Journal ArticleDOI
The trace element geochemistry of marine biogenic particulate matter
Robert W. Collier,John M. Edmond +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of physical and chemical leaching-decomposition experiments were conducted to identify the major and trace element composition of the biogenic particulate matter of plankton.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation of biogenic matter in the deep ocean
TL;DR: The major constituents of biogenic particles that settle through the water column of the ocean are carbonate tests, opaline shells, and particulate organic matter (cellular and amorphous) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The final effort of the CLIMAP project was a study of the last interglaciation, a time of minimum ice volume some 122,000 yr ago coincident with the Substage 5e oxygen isotopic minimum.
Journal ArticleDOI
The record of Late Pleistocene biogenic sedimentation in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean
Mitchell W Lyle,David W Murray,Bruce P. Finney,Jack Dymond,James M Robbins,Kathryn Brooksforce +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generated ∼300 Kyr records of biogenic opal, calcite, and organic carbon (Corg) for three cores in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean and compared the records to determine whether common periods of sedimentation have occurred throughout the region.
