In order to understand fluctuations in terrestrial and marine environments, a sedimentary
core H3571 was investigated from the Hess Rise located in the mid-latitude North Pacific …

Seasonal changes in the flux of individual planktonic foraminifera in the deep ocean have
been studied in the western equatorial Pacific warm pool using material collected by …

To reconstruct past fire activity in the West Pacific–East Asian region, we investigate a 360-
ky pelagic sedimentary record from the Caroline Basin in the Western Pacific Warm Pool …

Activities of anthropogenic radionuclides in bottom sediments of the Northwest-Central and
West Caroline basins of the Northwest Pacific Ocean are reported. Down-core distributions …

A sediment trap experiment was carried out in the West Caroline Basin, located in the
equatorial western Pacific between influences of the Asian monsoon and the open ocean …

Primary productivity as well as new production have played an important role in the global
carbon cycle during the late Quaternary. The mean organic carbon/nitrogen atomic ratio was …

Middle latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres of the western Pacific are the
sensitive areas for the climatic change. We reconstruct the variation in primary productivity to …

The mass accumulation rate (MAR) of organic carbon in the western sector of the western
Pacific warm pool (WPWP), a currently high primary productivity region, clearly responded to …

In this paper, we present a continuous record of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) content that
covers the last 1 Ma from core MD06-3050 (15° 57.0943′ N, 124° 46.7747′ E; water …

Large heat storage capacity in the western equatorial Pacific has played an important role in
modulating global climate. The fluctuation in pollen and spore abundances, together with …
