The purpose of this book is to provide timely and comprehensive information on extant
planktic foraminifers. This book is based on 'Modern Planktonic Foraminifera'published by …

Planktonic foraminifer tests are major archives of environmental change and provide a
multitude of proxies in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. The application of such …

We present a new method that quantifies the oxygen isotope geochemistry of Laurentide ice-
sheet (LIS) meltwater across the last deglaciation, and reconstruct decadal-scale variations …

Homogeneity, mass fractions of about forty trace elements and Sr isotope composition of Ca
carbonate reference materials (RMs) between original and nano‐powdered pellets are …

The relationship between seawater temperature and the average Mg/Ca ratios in planktic
foraminifera is well established, providing an essential tool for reconstructing past ocean …

Abstract El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) dominates interannual climate variability;
thus, understanding its response to climate forcing is critical. ENSO's sensitivity to changing …

We have examined the possible use of Mn/Ca ratios in benthic foraminifera as a proxy for
hypoxia, which has increasingly become a serious environmental issue in many coastal …

Given the scope and rapid rate of modern global environmental change (IPCC, 2013), it is
necessary to provide a framework to evaluate changes prior to the instrumental period. By …

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is becoming a
widespread technique for analyzing elemental ratios in foraminiferal calcite. Here we focus …

Observations of elevated barium-to-calcium ratios (Ba/Ca) in Globorotalia truncatulinoides
have been attributed to contaminant phases, deep calcification depth and diagenetic …
