Download or read book Proxies in Late Cenozoic Paleoceanography written by C. Hillaire-Marcel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-05-25 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the first in a series of two books dedicated to the paleoceanography of the Late Cenozoic ocean. The need for an updated synthesis on paleoceanographic science is urgent, owing to the huge and very diversified progress made in this domain during the last decade. In addition, no comprehensive monography still exists in this domain. This is quite incomprehensible in view of the contribution of paleoceanographic research to our present understanding of the dynamics of the climate-ocean system. The focus on the Late Cenozoic ocean responds to two constraints. Firstly, most quantitative methods, notably those based on micropaleontological approaches, cannot be used back in time beyond a few million years at most. Secondly, the last few million years, with their strong climate oscillations, show specific high frequency changes of the ocean with a relatively reduced influcence of tectonics. The first volume addresses quantitative methodologies to reconstruct the dynamics of the ocean andthe second, major aspects of the ocean system (thermohaline circulation, carbon cycle, productivity, sea level etc.) and will also present regional synthesis about the paleoceanography of major the oceanic basins. In both cases, the focus is the “open ocean leaving aside nearshore processes that depend too much onlocal conditions. In this first volume, we have gathered up-to-date methodologies for the measurement and quantitative interpretation of tracers and proxies in deep sea sediments that allow reconstruction of a few key past-properties of the ocean( temperature, salinity, sea-ice cover, seasonal gradients, pH, ventilation, oceanic currents, thermohaline circulation, and paleoproductivity). Chapters encompass physical methods (conventional grain-size studies, tomodensitometry, magnetic and mineralogical properties), most current biological proxies (planktic and benthic foraminifers, deep sea corals, diatoms, coccoliths, dinocysts and biomarkers) and key geochemical tracers (trace elements, stable isotopes, radiogenic isotopes, and U-series). Contributors to the book and members of the review panel are among the best scientists in their specialty. They represent major European and North American laboratories and thus provide a priori guarantees to the quality and updat of the entire book. Scientists and graduate students in paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, climate modeling, and undergraduate and graduate students in marine geology represent the target audience. This volume should be of interest for scientists involved in several international programs, such as those linked to the IPCC (IODP – Integrated Ocean Drilling Program; PAGES – Past Global Changes; IMAGES – Marine Global Changes; PMIP: Paleoclimate Intercomparison Project; several IGCP projects etc.), That is, all programs that require access to time series illustrating changes in the climate-ocean system. Presents updated techniques and methods in paleoceanography Reviews the state-of-the-art interpretation of proxies used for quantitative reconstruction of the climate-ocean system Acts as a supplement for undergraduate and graduate courses in paleoceanography and marine geology
Download or read book Quaternary Glaciations Extent and Chronology written by J. Ehlers and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-10-02 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second of three volumes in which the recent knowledge of the extent and chronology of Quaternary glaciations has been compiled on a global scale. This information is seen as a fundamental requirement, not only for the glacial community, but for the wider user-community of general Quaternary workers. In particular the need for accurate ice-front positions is a basic requirement for the rapidly growing field of palaeoclimate modelling. In order to provide the information for the widest-possible range of users in the most accessible form, a series of digital maps was prepared. The glacial limits were mapped in ArcView, the Geographical Information System (GIS) used by the work group. Included with the publication is a CD with digital maps, showing glacial limits, end moraines, ice-dammed lakes, glacier-induced drainage diversions and the locations of key sections through which the glacial limits are defined and dated. The last deglaciation is also shown in 500 year time-steps. The digital maps in this volume cover the USA and Canada and include Greenland and Hawaii. Both overview maps and more detailed maps at a scale 1: 1,000,000 are provided.

This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers invited contributions from active researchers to provide an up-to-date overview of the geological setting of the Red Sea. It discusses aspects ranging from historical information to modern research in the Red Sea, and presents findings from rapidly advancing, emerging fields. This semi-enclosed young ocean basin provides a unique opportunity to study the development of passive continental margins in order to examine the current status of that region. In addition to studies on the Sea itself, it includes those from related fields on the littoral zone. The book is of interest to geoscientists and non-specialists alike.

Download or read book Late Quaternary Palaeoceanographic Evolution in the Skagerrak North Eastern North Sea written by William Andrew Dickens and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract:This thesis investigates a radiocarbon dated composite sediment core from the Skagerrak basin (GC372650) and uses foraminifera to reconstructs the late Quaternary palaeoceanographic evolution of the North. The Skagerrak is an ideal location to reconstruct oceanographic change as it is critical in controlling water exchange between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Foraminiferal assemblage zones effectively highlight variations in hydrological conditions throughout the core. Sediments deposited between 12,600 and 11,200 cal. BP reflect cooler, ice proximal conditions during the Younger Dryas, with water temperatures warming throughout this period. The opening of a new outlet across central Sweden from the Baltic occurred at c. 11,200 cal. BP, and existed for about 1000 years, before its gradual closure at c. 10,500 cal. BP. Increased Atlantic inflow during the early Holocene is interrupted by a cooling event at c. 9400 cal. BP, though it is unclear if this was part of a wider climatic cooling, or a strengthened North Jutland Current. The Littorina transgression facilitated the initiation of the modern hydrological system at c. 8500 cal. BP with the opening of the English Channel; this was evidenced by a sudden bloom in Hyalinea balthica. Shortly after, around 8300 cal. BP, the opening of the Danish Straits occurred, allowing exchange between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Outflow from the Baltic was greatest in the subsequent 2000 years but decreased after 6000 cal. BP. At the same time, a strengthening of the South Jutland Current (SJC) and corresponding drop in water temperatures occurred. After the weakening of the SJC around 3000 years later, conditions were relatively stable with increasing Atlantic Inflow, though a distinct cooling between c. 3000 and 2200 cal. BP may correspond to 'neoglacial' cooling observed elsewhere. Between 420 and 160 cal. BP, the return of cold water fauna indicate a drop in temperatures due to the Little Ice Age. The duration of this cold phase in GC372650 is considerably shorter than in other investigations, only showing change during the maximum of the LIA. Following this, recent oxygen depletion, evidenced by a sudden increase in Textulari earlandi, is probably a result of increased specimen abundance due to additional nutrient input. Although eutrophication cannot be ruled out as a possibility, variations in the NAO index seem to correlate well with the timing of oxygen depletion.

Book excerpt: The Red Sea is a unique and fragile environment. All but landlocked between Africa and Arabia, its peculiar oceanographic conditions, its geographical position and its geological history all conspire to make it particularly vulnerable to the side-effects of human civilization. In places, it is already a key environment under threat. What makes the Red Sea unique? What are the threats to this environment? Where should future research be directed? These are just three of the major questions addressed by the scientists contributing to this book.
