Alkenone paleothermometry: Biological lessons from marine sediment records off western South America
An empirical global core-top calibration that relates the alkenone unsaturation index U 0 37 to mean annual SST (maSST) is statistically the same as that defined for a subarctic Pacific strain of Emiliania huxleyi (CCMP1742) grown exponentially in batch culture under isothermal conditions. Although both equations have been applied widely for paleoSST reconstruction, uncertainty still stems from...
متن کاملEcology and biogeochemistry of alkenone production at Station ALOHA
In our study of Station ALOHA, a site representative of the oligotrophic North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG), alkenone content and composition were examined in (1) sinking particulate materials collected in sediment traps moored at 2800m during 2 year-long deployments (1992–1993 and 2000–2001) and (2) suspended particulate materials collected throughout the euphotic zone in two contrasting se...
متن کاملOxygen Isotope Paleotemperature Determinations of Australian Cainozoic Fossils.
Fossil marine shells collected in southern Victoria within half a degree of latitude of 38(1/2) degrees S have been analyzed for O(18)/O(16) by mass spectroscopy, and their paleotemperatures have been determined. For the genera Chlamys, Ostrea, and Glycymeris the temperature rises from early to mid-Tertiary, then falls again to the present.
متن کاملModelling an alkenone-like proxy record in the NW African upwelling
A regional biogeochemical model is applied to the NW African coastal upwelling between 19 N and 27 N to investigate how a water temperature proxy, alkenones, are produced at the sea surface and recorded in the slope sediments. The biogeochemical model has two phytoplankton groups: an alkenone producer group, considered to be coccolithophores, and a group comprising other phytoplankton. The Regi...
متن کاملAlkenone abundance and its relationship to the coccolithophore assemblage in Gulf of California surface waters
Profiles of alkenone concentration, the abundance of the calcified alkenone-producing species Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica as well as nutrient and phytoplankton pigment concentrations were measured through the euphotic zone in surface waters of the Gulf of California during cruises in two different summers (2004, 2005) and one winter (2005). As determined using a biomarker and pi...
