As “ecosystem engineers,” framework-forming scleractinian cold-water corals (CWC) build
reefs that are unique biodiversity hotspots in the deep sea. Studies using common biological …

The termination of the Last Ice Age after the Last Glacial maximum (LGM) represents a
dynamic period in the history of the circum-north Atlantic region. So far, there are few reliably …

To investigate past changes in the Mediterranean Overflow Water (MOW) to the Atlantic, we
analyzed the strength of the MOW and benthic δ13C along the last 250 kyr at Integrated …

The upper branch of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) plays a critical
role in ocean circulation and climate change, yet its variability during the last glacial period …

The cause of a rapid change in Atlantic Ocean circulation and northern cooling at the onset
of Heinrich Stadial 1~ 18.5 ka is unclear. Previous studies have simulated the event using …

Insights into past marine carbon cycling and water mass properties can be obtained by
means of geochemical proxies calibrated through controlled laboratory experiments with …

Upwelling deep waters in the Southern Ocean release biologically sequestered carbon into
the atmosphere, contributing to the relatively high atmospheric CO2 levels during …

Strong bottom currents play a key role in cold-water coral environments by sha** their
morphology and providing the necessary food for the corals to thrive. This study investigates …

Many paleoenvironmental studies based on benthic foraminiferal assemblages use different
protocols for sample analysis. A standardized protocol has been recently established for …

Abstract The northern Bay of Biscay has previously proven its great potential for recording
the 'Fleuve Manche'paleoriver (ie, the largest Pleistocene river in Europe) fluvio-glacial …
