Abstract We present high‐resolution records for oxygen isotopes of the planktic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber (δ 18 O ) and bulk sediment inorganic geochemistry Holocene‐age sediments from southeast Mediterranean. Our δ record appears to be dominated by Nile discharge rather than basin‐scale salinity/temperature changes. was enhanced in early middle Holocene relative today. The timing long‐term maximum during corresponds intensity Indian Ocean‐influenced Southwest summer monsoon (SIM)....
In general, a moderate drying trend is observed in mid-latitude arid Central Asia since the Mid-Holocene, attributed to progressively weakening influence of Westerlies on regional climate. However, as spatio-temporal pattern this development and underlying climatic mechanisms are yet not fully understood, new high-resolution paleoclimate records from region needed. Within study, sediment core Lake Son Kol (Central Kyrgyzstan) was investigated using sedimentological, (bio)geochemical,...
Abstract During International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) expeditions, shipboard‐generated data provide the first insights into cored sequences. The natural gamma radiation (NGR) of recovered material, for example, is routinely measured on ocean drilling research vessel DV JOIDES Resolution . At present, only total NGR counts are readily available as shipboard data, although full spectra (counts a function gamma‐ray energy level) produced and archived. These contain unexploited...
A method for determining iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine in geological biological materials is described. In a quartz tube, solid material was heated to 1100 °C under wet oxygen flow (pyrohydrolysis). By this process the halogens (I, Br, Cl, F) were separated from matrix then collected receiver solution. The chemical yield of iodine determined by radioactive tracer. ICP-MS ion chromatographic measurements used determination halogens. optimized investigating different experimental...

Phosphorus (P) is a key nutrient for marine organisms. The only long-term removal pathway P in the realm burial sediments. Iron (Fe) bound accounts significant proportion of this at global scale. In sediments underlying anoxic bottom waters, Fe-bound generally assumed to be negligible because reductive dissolution Fe(III) (oxyhydr)oxides and release associated P. However, recent work suggests that an important phase euxinic (i.e. sulfidic) basin Baltic Sea. study, we investigate role as...
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is a ubiquitous source of meteoric fresh and recirculating seawater to the coastal ocean. Due hidden distribution SGD, as well hydraulic- stratigraphy-driven spatial temporal heterogeneities, one biggest challenges date correct assessment SGD-driven constituent fluxes. Here, we present results from 3-dimensional seasonal sampling campaign shallow subterranean estuary in high-energy, meso-tidal beach, Spiekeroog Island, Northern Germany. We determined...
Abstract Changes in penguin populations on the Antarctic Peninsula have been linked to several environmental factors, but potentially devastating impact of volcanic activity has not considered. Here we use detailed biogeochemical analyses track past colony change over last 8,500 years Ardley Island, home one Peninsula’s largest breeding gentoo penguins. The first sustained was established Island c. 6,700 ago, pre-dating sub-fossil evidence Peninsula-wide occupation by 1,000 years....
The deep basins of the Baltic Sea, including Gotland and Landsort Deeps, are well known for exceptional occurrence sedimentary Mn carbonate. Although details mechanisms carbonate formation still under debate, a close relationship with episodic major inflows (MBIs) is generally assumed, at least Basin. However, few studies on cycling during MBIs suffer from limited temporal resolution. Here we report dynamics in water column sediments Deep following an MBI that entered Sea December 2014....
Sulfurization of DOM in the Black Sea highlights an additional mechanism for organic carbon sequestration O 2 -limited basins.
The development and application of geochemical techniques to identify redox conditions in modern ancient aquatic environments has intensified over recent years. Iron (Fe) speciation emerged as one the most widely used procedures distinguish different regimes both water column sediments, is main technique oxic, ferruginous (anoxic, Fe(II) containing) euxinic sulfidic) conditions. However, an international sediment reference material never been developed. This led concern consistency results...
