Planktonic foraminifer tests are major archives of environmental change and provide a
multitude of proxies in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology. The application of such …

Abstract Understanding the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) behaviour during the late
Pleistocene has been largely based on the wind-driven upwelling records from the Arabian …

The calcium carbonate shells of planktic foraminifera provide our most valuable
geochemical archive of ocean surface conditions and climate spanning the last 100 million …

Widely regarded as an imminent threat to our oceans, ocean acidification has been
documented in all oceanic basins. Projected changes in seawater chemistry will have …

Homogeneity, mass fractions of about forty trace elements and Sr isotope composition of Ca
carbonate reference materials (RMs) between original and nano‐powdered pellets are …

Abstract The Mg/Ca ratio of foraminiferal calcite is a widely used empirical proxy for ocean
temperature. Foraminiferal Mg/Ca‐temperature relationships are based on extant species …

The mass of well-preserved calcite in planktonic foraminifera shells provides an indication of
the calcification potential of the surface ocean. Here we report the shell weight of 8 different …

The process by which foraminifera precipitate calcite from seawater has received much
attention, in part because a mechanistic basis for empirical calibrations between shell …

The reliable determination of past seawater temperature is fundamental to paleoclimate
studies. We test the robustness of two paleotemperature proxies by combining Mg/Ca and …

Recent advances in spatially-resolved in-situ geochemical analysis enabled recognizing
daily variability in B, Mg, Sr and Ba within bivalve shells of the genus Tridacna (eg Sano et …
