Late Pleistocene thick laminated mats of Ethmodiscus rex (E. rex) have been found on the
seafloor of the western tropical Pacific. Exploring the causes of E. rex mats formation can …

The ocean constitutes the largest heat reservoir in the Earth's energy budget and thus exerts
a major influence on its climate. Instrumental observations show an increase in ocean heat …

Methane hydrates are widely distributed along continental margins, representing a potential
source of methane to the ocean and atmosphere, possibly influencing Earth's climate. Yet …

Through biological productivity and ocean-atmosphere CO 2 exchange, North Pacific mid-
depth ventilation has the potential to regulate regional climate over glacial timescales …

Abstract The East China Sea (ECS) is a shallow marginal sea that is sensitive to glacio-
eustatic sea-level changes and is influenced by warm oligotrophic water of the Kuroshio …

The deep-ocean carbon cycle, especially carbon sequestration and outgassing, is one of the
mechanisms to explain variations in atmospheric CO 2 concentrations on millennial and …

The Pacific meridional overturning circulation is thought to have a significant influence on
global climate. However, the extent to which intermediate and deep circulations have …

Sea level and bottom water temperature variations caused by the Last Deglaciation climate
warming impacted the stability of marine hydrates. In order to examine their influence on …

Within the world's oceans, regionally distinct ecological niches develop due to differences in
water temperature, nutrients, food availability, predation and light intensity. This results in …

Subducted sediment plays a key role in modulating pore pressure and seismic behavior at
subduction zones. We investigated the seismic character of incoming sediments to test how …
