Relation of sortable silt grain-size to deep-sea current speeds: Calibration of the 'Mud Current Meter'
Fine grain-size parameters have been used for inference of palaeoflow speeds of near-
bottom currents in the deep-sea. The basic idea stems from observations of varying …

230Th Normalization: New Insights on an Essential Tool for Quantifying Sedimentary Fluxes in the Modern and Quaternary Ocean
Abstract 230Th normalization is a valuable paleoceanographic tool for reconstructing high‐
resolution sediment fluxes during the late Pleistocene (last~ 500,000 years). As its …
