In this paper, we review the current understanding of biomineralization in perforate foraminifera.
Ideas on the mechanisms responsible for the flux of Ca 2 + and inorganic carbon from …

The northern Arabian Sea is one of the few regions in the open ocean where thermocline
water is severely depleted in oxygen. The intensity of this oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) has …

The Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum, ∼55 million years ago, was a brief period of
widespread, extreme climatic warming 1 , 2 , 3 , that was associated with massive atmospheric …

Analysis of a (15 m long) sediment core recovered from the Murray Ridge (northern Arabian
Sea) reveals a 225,000 year record of climate-induced variations in surface water …

We studied the distribution of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) in water-column
particulate matter and the top 5 cm of sediment from 47 lakes along a transect from southern …

Relative to the present day, meridional temperature gradients in the Early Eocene age (∼56–53
Myr ago) were unusually low, with slightly warmer equatorial regions 1 but with much …

The start of the Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum—a period of exceptional global
warming about 55 million years ago—is marked by a prominent negative carbon isotope …

Peat bogs store up to a third of all terrestrial carbon on Earth 1 , and are one of the largest
natural sources of atmospheric methane 2 . Anaerobic degradation of submerged Sphagnum …

We applied laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as
a new and precise technique for measuring trace elements in benthic foraminifera (…

XRF sediment core scanning technology is increasingly used to quantify sediment composition.
The overall good correlation between biophilic halogen bromine (Br) and sedimentary …
