The Uruguayan continental margin (UCM), located in the Southwestern Atlantic margin's subtropical region, is positioned in a critical transitional region regarding the global ocean …
Sediment deposits formed mainly under the influence of bottom currents (contourites) are widely used as high-resolution archives for reconstructing past ocean conditions. However …
In this paper, we investigate the characteristics of the shelf mud depocenters off South Brazil, between latitudes 27° 30′ S and 24° 30′ S. A combination of geochronological, textural …
In this study, we use inorganic (metal) and organic (bulk and molecular) markers in sediment samples of the south-eastern Brazilian margin to investigate the response of geochemical …
Vegetation and climate changes in southern Brazil, as well as the dynamics of the adjacent South Atlantic were investigated through the analyses of pollen, spores and dinocysts from …
Marine productivity largely controls the oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide and contributed to the global climate changes that led to the termination of the last glacial cycle …
Magnetic signals in deep‐sea sediments have the potential to unravel past continental environmental changes, via changes in primary terrigenous magnetic supply, but also …
