The ratio of calcium carbonate to organic carbon (C) production in the surface ocean is
thought to be one of the key marine biotic climate variables, through its effect on ocean C …

We have analysed alkenones in 149 surface sediments from the eastern South Atlantic in

The global distribution pattern of coccolithophorid blooms was mapped in order to ascertain
the prevalence of these blooms in the world's oceans and to estimate their worldwide …

Emiliania huxleyi is widely regarded as the most likely source of C37 C39 alkenones in
present-day seawater and Recent sediments, but other sources are required to account for …

A review of natural bloom and mesocosm data for Erniliania huxleyl suggests a connection
between bloom formation, shallow mixed layers and high Light intensities. But how does E …
