Phospholipid fatty acid profiles at depositional and non-depositional sites in the North Sea

Magnetic Characteristics of Carboniferous Continental Depositional Systems: Implications for the Recognition of Depositional Hiatuses

Quaternary magnetic studies have provided the conceptual framework to bridge magnetic studies into ancient systems. In cases where environmental materials have been subjected to diagenetic alteration two questions come to mind: 1) What part of the magnetic signal is preserved in the rocks; and 2) can the preserved signal be used to infer/identify magnetic patterns that are characteristic of the...

CHAPTER 6: Modern Analogues and Depositional Models

Seasonal variability in 7Be depositional fluxes at Granada, Spain.

Measurement of 7Be depositional fluxes at Granada, Spain (37 degrees 10'50''N-3 degrees 35'44''W, altitude 670 m) in the period 1995 through 1998 indicates substantial variations between the four seasons and also between corresponding seasons in different years, ranging from 23.6 to 242 Bq m(-2) per season. A strongly positive correlation with precipitation is shown, which explains about 70% of...

Microfossils and the Depositional Environment of the Gunflint Iron Formation

Depositional History of Miocene-Age Sediments from the Weddell Sea, Antarctica, Using Sedimentological and Geochemical Proxies

Understanding the stability of Antarctic Ice Sheets is a key to understanding past climates and the response of ice-sheets to warming. In this thesis, I examined the middle through upper Miocene marine sedimentological and geochemical record in the Weddell Sea. Sediments were recovered at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 694 located in 4653 m of water in the northern Weddell Sea Abyssal Plain,...
