Chronology, dose rates, and stable isotope record of sediment core MD03-2607

Reconstructions of primary productivity at low latitudes have been the focus of several studies to better understand how the export of nutrient-rich, intermediate Southern Ocean (SO) waters influences productivity at these latitudes. This was triggered by the general observation of minima in the planktonic foraminiferal d13C values during deglaciations, which was interpreted as an isotopic signal of intermediate SO waters, together with concomitant increase in diatom productivity at some equatorial sites. However, the impact of these SO waters on productivity at higher latitudes is not well co... Mehr ...
