Variations of Indian monsoon precipitation during the last 32 kyr reflected in the surface hydrography of the Western Bay of Bengal

P Govil, PD Naidu - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
Hydrography of the Bay of Bengal is highly influenced by the river runoff and rainfall during
the southwest monsoon. We have reconstructed δ18Osw, sea surface salinity and sea …

Rapid bottom melting widespread near Antarctic ice sheet grounding lines

E Rignot, SS Jacobs - Science, 2002 - science.org
As continental ice from Antarctica reaches the grounding line and begins to float, its
underside melts into the ocean. Results obtained with satellite radar interferometry reveal …

Planktic foraminiferal sedimentation and the marine calcite budget

R Schiebel - Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
The vertical flux and sedimentation rate of planktic foraminiferal tests are quantified and a
