Abstract:: Recent works have investigated use of the hydrogen isotopic composition of C₃₇ alkenones (δD[subscript K37s]), lipid biomarkers of certain haptophyte microalgae, as an independent paleosalinity proxy. I discuss herein the factors impeding such an application and identify the potential alternative use of δD[subscript K37s] measurements as a proxy for non-thermal,...

Abstract:: Deep-sea bamboo coral (Isidella sp.) SE000901A from the southern Oregon coast (water depth 1048m) provides a high-resolution record of variability of North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) and carbon rain to the sea floor, related to coastal upwelling, from 1808 to 2000AD. Counting of annual layers in magnesium to calcium (Mg/Ca)...

Abstract:: Here we investigate the relationships between modern foraminiferal assemblages from Atlantic and Pacific surface sediment samples and multiple environmental properties including water column and preservation variables using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). CCA finds two fauna] dimensions that are highly correlated to the environmental variables included in the analysis, and then...

Abstract:: Planktonic foraminiferal faunal assemblages were used to estimate sea-surface temperatures (SST) in the southeast Pacific Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and off the coast of Peru over the last 150,000 years. Temperatures along the eastern boundary of South America were 6-8° C cooler during the LGM than at...
