At the northern exit of the Vema Channel, in the Southern Brazil Basin, deep currents linked with Antarctic Bottom Water flow (AABW, below 4200 m) have formed contouritic accumulations along the continental rise. Lithologic ...

Direct indications of circulation patterns in the deep sea (especially along continental rises and sediment drifts) can be obtained through the analysis of abyssal bedforms such as furrows and mud waves. Such direct evidence ...

A sediment wave field in the western Gulf of Mexico is similar to many other fields that are located on continental rises and related to thermohaline contour currents, especially western boundary undercurrents. Such currents ...

A general circulation model of the Indian Ocean was run using monthly average wind and thermal forcing from an atmospheric model for conditions appropriate for today and 9000 years B.P. The present‐day forcing is poor ...

Planktonic foraminiferal abundances, fluxes, test sizes, and coiling properties are influenced in various ways by the southwest monsoon winds and associated upwelling in the western Arabian Sea. To determine the short‐term ...

The sedimentary record of a ratio (UK37) of long chain (C37) unsaturated alkenones is a useful indicator of glacial‐interglacial climatic change in the Late Quaternary northern Gulf of Mexico where a planktonic foraminiferal ...

Little is known about the fluxes to and from the ocean during the Cenozoic of phosphorus (P), a limiting nutrient for oceanic primary productivity and organic carbon burial on geologic timescales. Previous studies have ...

Atlantic psychrospheric and temperate mesopelagic faunas found in the lower Messinian marls in Morocco indicate that a strong, eastward flowing, bottom current was present in the Rifian Corridor before the Salinity Crisis. ...

A review of the Pliocene‐Pleistocene paleoenvironmental history of the western Mediterranean is presented based on micropaleontological and geochemical studies of Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) leg 107 material and marine ...

This study provides a first attempt at using a phase sensitive detection algorithm to detect short‐lived events, such as glacial meltwater events, in stable oxygen isotope records. Pertinent parameters such as the decay ...
