Abstract The Last Interglacial (LIG) represents an invaluable case study to investigate the
response of components of the Earth system to global warming. However, the scarcity of …

Climate variability is driven by a complex interplay of global-scale processes and our
understanding of them depends on sufficient temporal resolution of the geologic records and …

The ocean—the Earth's largest ecosystem—is increasingly affected by anthropogenic
climate change,. Large and globally consistent shifts have been detected in species …

Shell fluxes of planktonic Foraminifera species vary intra-annually in a pattern that appears
to follow the seasonal cycle. However, the variation in the timing and prominence of …

Two high-resolution sediment cores from eastern Fram Strait have been investigated for sea
subsurface and surface temperature variability during the Holocene (the past ca 12,000 …

A pronounced late Miocene cooling (LMC) from~ 7 to 5.7 Ma has been documented in
extratropical and tropical sea surface temperature records, but to date, available proxy …

Planktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent
fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different …

Species of planktonic foraminifera exhibit specific seasonal production patterns and different
preferred vertical habitats. The seasonal and vertical habitats are not constant throughout …

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

The composition of planktonic foraminiferal (PF) calcite is routinely used to reconstruct
climate variability. However, PF ecology leaves a large imprint on the proxy signal: seasonal …
