Pleistocene to Holocene benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the Peruvian continental margin

Abyssal hills: Influence of topography on benthic foraminiferal assemblages

Seasonal dynamics and decadal changes of benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the western Baltic Sea (NW Europe)

Living benthic foraminiferal assemblages were monitored between January and July 2004 in the Kiel Bight, Baltic Sea. Phytoplankton blooms and the deposition of organic detritus were depicted by fluorometer hydro casts and pigment concentrations in surface sediments. Three depositional pulses of organic matter were identified by high phytoplankton concentrations above the sea floor and elevated ...

Role of Recruitment Processes in Structuring Coralligenous Benthic Assemblages in the Northern Adriatic Continental Shelf

Coralligenous biogenic reefs are among the most diverse marine habitats in the Mediterranean Sea. The northern Adriatic mesophotic coralligenous outcrops host very rich and diverse epibenthic assemblages. Several studies quantified the low temporal variability and high spatial heterogeneity of these habitats, while processes driving structuring and differentiation are still poorly understood. T...

Holocene and Late Pleistocene climate in the sub-Mediterranean continental environment: A speleothem record from Poleva Cave (Southern Carpathians, Romania)

The PP10 stalagmite from Poleva Cave provides a Late Pleistocene and Holocene isotopic record characteristic for the SW of Romania, a sub-Mediterranean climatic region. The speleothem was dated by eight TIMS and one alpha U-series dates which showed that it was precipitated between ∼75 ka and ∼2 ka with at least two hiatuses. The basal sector of the stalagmite showed a slow-growing regime of ∼0...

Oligocene to Holocene Mass-transport Deposits of the New Jersey Continental Margin and Their Correlation to Sequence Boundaries

The styles of soft-sediment deformation, mineralogy, and biostratigraphy of mass-transport deposits recovered from Leg 150 drill sites (902-906) provide important new information on the erosional and sedimentary history of the New Jersey continental slope and rise, and on the relationship of mass-wasting processes to changes in relative sea level. Nine distinct sedimentary facies are recognized...
