Paleo-oceanography of the subtropical southeastern Pacific during late Quaternary : a study of radiolaria, opal and quartz contents of deep-sea sediments

Creator:

Molina-Cruz, Adolfo

Abstract:

Micropaleontological data have been analyzed through mathematical and statistical procedures, in order to: (1) establish the distribution pattern of radiolarian assemblages in the surface sediments, (2) establish the relationship of these assemblages with oceanographic variables, (3) determine the faunal composition down-core with respect to the faunal surface pattern, and (4)...

Late quaternary oceanic circulation along the Pacific Coast of South America

Creator:

Molina-Cruz, Adolfo

Abstract:

The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...
