Foraminifera; ClassificationAbstract
Eighty species and morphological varieties of agglutinated
benthic foraminifera were identified in sediments from the HEBBLE Site
(4800 m depth) and the HEBBLE Shallow Site (4185 m) on the lower
Nova Scotian Continental Rise. Details of their morphology and
classification are included in descriptions of each species, and
representative specimens are illustrated using SEM, light microscopy,
and X-radiography.

Radiocarbon evidence for a possible abyssal front near 3.1 km in the glacial equatorial Pacific Ocean
(2014-09)We investigate the radiocarbon ventilation age in deep equatorial Pacific sediment cores using the difference in conventional 14C age between coexisting benthic and planktonic foraminifera, and integrate those results with ... -
Low-frequency storminess signal at Bermuda linked to cooling events in the North Atlantic region
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015-02-18)North Atlantic climate archives provide evidence for increased storm activity during the Little Ice Age (150 to 600 calibrated years (cal years) B.P.) and centered at 1700 and 3000 cal years B.P., typically in centennial-scale ... -
Calibration of the carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of benthic foraminifera
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-06-03)The carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of seawater provides valuable insight on ocean circulation, air-sea exchange, the biological pump, and the global carbon cycle and is reflected by the δ13C of foraminifera tests. Here ...
