Gulf stream temperature, salinity and transport during the last millennium
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Benthic and planktonic foraminiferal [delta]18O ([delta 18Oc) from a suite of well-dated, high-resolution cores spanning the depth and width of the Straits of Florida reveal significant changes in Gulf Stream cross-current ...
The influence of ridge geometry at the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge (9⁰-25⁰E) : basalt composition sensitivity to variations in source and process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Between 90-25° E on the ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge lie two sharply contrasting supersegments. One 630 km long supersegment erupts N-MORB that is progressively enriched in incompatible element concentrations ...
The paleoceanography of the Bering Sea during the last glacial cycle
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
In this thesis, I present high-resolution stable-isotope and planktonic-fauna records from Bering Sea sediment cores, spanning the time period from 50,000 years ago to the present. During Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS3) at ...
Isotopic constraints on the sources and associations of organic compounds in marine sediments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
To provide a new perspective on the fate of both natural organic matter and hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) in marine sediments, we have investigated the relationship between radiocarbon (14C) age and the different ...
