We use flux, dissolution, and excess ²³⁰Th data from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study and Manganese Nodule Project equatorial Pacific study Site C to assess the extent of sediment focusing in the equatorial Pacific. Measured mass accumulation rates (MAR) from sediment cores were compared to reconstructed MAR by multiplying...
The seasonality of sea surface temperatures (SST) estimated from the alkenone-U[superscript K’]₃₇ index has been a debated issue since the development of the
sediment trap time series data from 34 sampling locations, we show that the
maximum alkenone flux in sediment traps varies markedly across the oceans,
only on latitude...
