Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the paleoceanographical proxies based on
deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics, and presents the following three …

Foraminiferal research lies at the border between geology and biology. Benthic foraminifera
are a major component of marine communities, highly sensitive to environmental influences …

" Elizabeth DeLoughrey invokes the cyclical model of the continual movement and rhythm of
the ocean ('tidalectics') to destabilize the national, ethnic, and even regional frameworks that …

Abstract Mid-water oxygen minima (0.5 mll 1 dissolved O2) intercept the continental margins
along much of the eastern Pacific Ocean, off west Africa and in the Arabian Sea and Bay of …

Island communities stand to be among the first and most adversely affected by the impacts of
global climate change. Rising sea levels, changing precipitation and storm patterns, and …

Surface sediment was sampled at two bathyal sites in the southwestern Gulf of Lions in the
western Mediterranean Sea in February and August 1997 to study the distribution and …

Live (Rose-Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera were studied along a transect across the
main area of organic matter deposition in the Cape Blanc upwelling region. The faunal …

High-resolution benthic foraminiferal and geochemical investigations were carried out
across sapropels S5 and S6 from two sediment cores in the Levantine Sea to evaluate the …

Benthic foraminifera have been quantified in two sediment cores from a topographic high
(Murray Ridge) in the northern Arabian Sea. One core is from a station within the present …

Foraminifera of siliciclastic and mixed siliciclastic–carbonate continental margins are
sensitive to changes in sea level because of the complex biological, chemical, and physical …
