Sensitivity of south-east Atlantic planktonic foraminifera to mid-Pleistocene climate change

Sensitivity of planktonic foraminifera to Mid-Pleistocene climate change in the SE Atlantic

In this paper we describe a record of planktonic foraminiferal relative abundance changes in Core T89-40 retrieved from the Walvis Ridge, SE Atlantic. The planktonic foraminiferal relative abundance changes reflect past (sub)surface water hydrography during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. Statistical analysis shows that most variability in the planktonic foraminiferal relative abundance record ...

Projected impacts of climate change and ocean acidification on the global biogeography of planktonic Foraminifera

Planktonic Foraminifera are a major contributor to the deep carbonate flux and their microfossil deposits form one of the richest databases for reconstructing paleoenvironments, particularly through changes in their taxonomic and shell composition. Using an empirically based planktonic foraminifer model that incorporates three known major physiological drivers of their biogeography – temperatur...

Adapting to climate change in South East Queensland, Australia

There is growing recognition that regionally scaled responses will be pivotal in adapting to climate change (e.g. Kirshen et al. 2008; Reyer et al. 2012). This recognition is echoed in South East Queensland (SEQ), where rapid population growth and coastal urban centres have made it one of Australia’s most vulnerable regions and a focus for climate adaptation research. As a collection of papers,...
