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.

Meridional overturning circulation in the South Atlantic at the last glacial maximum
(American Geophysical Union, 2006-10-03)The geostrophic shear associated with the meridional overturning circulation is reflected in the difference in density between the eastern and western margins of the ocean basin. Here we examine how the density difference ... -
Benthic foraminifera living in Gulf of Mexico bathyal and abyssal sediments : community analysis and comparison to metazoan meiofaunal biomass and density
(2005-12-07)Benthic foraminiferal biomass, density, and species composition were determined at ten sites in the Gulf of Mexico. During June 2001 and June 2002, sediment samples were collected with a GoMex boxcorer. A 7.5-cm diameter ... -
Impact of intentionally injected carbon dioxide hydrate on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal survival
(2008-10)Sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the ocean is being considered as a feasible mechanism to mitigate the alarming rate in its atmospheric rise. Little is known, however, about how the resulting hypercapnia and ocean ...
