Abstract This paper presents an overview of the evolution Nile deep‐sea turbidite system during last 200 kyr, over a series glacial to interglacial cycles. Six individual fans were identified from extensive field data set. Each fan comprises canyon, channel and terminal lobes. Two these systems possibly active at same time, least some periods. Large‐scale slope failures destroyed segments caused formation new submarine systems. These thus played important role in overall system. During...
The recent expansion of Atlantic waters into the Arctic Ocean represents undisputable evidence rapid changes occurring in this region. Understanding past variability “Atlantification” is thus crucial providing a longer perspective on modern changes. Here, we reconstruct history Atlantification along eastern Fram Strait during 800 years using precisely dated paleoceanographic records based organic biomarkers and benthic foraminiferal data. Our results show water mass properties that commenced...
Abstract Clastic mud beds rich in continental organic matter are observed recurrently the Nile deep-sea turbidite system. They formed during flooding periods of river similar to those that induce sapropel formation and occurred increased density stratification eastern Mediterranean. The very fine-grained flood deposits intercalated within pelagic sediments, sapropels Bouma-type turbidites. These form by successive reconcentrations surface (hypopycnal) plumes convective sedimentation, which...
Quantitative coccolithophore analyses were performed in core MD01-2446, located the midlatitude North Atlantic, to reconstruct climatically induced sea surface water conditions throughout Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 14-9.The data are compared new and available paleoenvironmental proxies from same site as well other nearby Atlantic records that support signature at glacial-interglacial millennial climate scale.Total absolute abundance increases during interglacials but abruptly drops colder...
Abstract Holocene cooling events have been reconstructed for the southern Adriatic Sea (central Mediterranean) by means of analyses organic walled dinoflagellate cysts, planktonic foraminifera, oxygen isotopes, calcareous nanoplankton, alkenones and pollen from a sediment core. Two detected, during which sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs) were ca. 2°C lower. Unravelling SST signal into dominant seasonal components suggests maximum winter at around 6.0 ka, whereas 3.0 ka might be result spring...
Abstract A high‐resolution integrated study has been performed in a super‐expanded marine record (sedimentation rate spanning from 11 cm/100 years to 20 years) the continental shelf area of southeastern Tyrrhenian Sea. Planktonic foraminiferal distribution illustrates 6 major environmental changes during past 2000 years: (i) Roman Period–Dark Age transition (from herbivorous‐opportunistic carnivorous species); (ii) Dark Age–MCA (iii) Medieval Classic Anomaly–Little Ice (a further and...
Reconstructing climate patterns from the Common Era is necessary for placing modern human-driven changes within context of natural climatic variations. This particularly relevant Arctic, which warming faster than any other. global trend tied to rapid sea ice loss and increasing influx Atlantic waters into Arctic basin, a phenomenon called "Atlantification". In this context, we reconstruct last centuries paleoenvironmental in region sediment cores strategically located along Barents Sea...
Recent evidence from ice cores revealed that between ca. 1.3-1.9 ky CE the Victoria Land (western Ross Sea, Antarctica) experienced an abrupt cooling. How this cooling affected ocean and marine cryosphere is largely unknown. GRETA proposes to fill knowledge gap using sedimentary archives investigate ocean´s response event. Here, we present new high-resolution sequences collected in western Sea (JOIDES basin) compare our findings with existing Coast data (Edisto Inlet, Robertson Bay,...
The Mediterranean Sea is considered a hotspot for bioinvaders. Nonetheless, information on non-indigenous benthic foraminifera still fragmented. This study documents the first time presence along northwestern Adriatic coast of species Virgulinella fragilis, Grindell and Collen (1976). Due to low abundance recorded in area, this may represent an early colonization phase. We discuss temporal spatial patterns V. fragilis arrival Seas, we hypothesize stowaway transport (via ship fouling or...
