Influence of water masses on the biodiversity and biogeography of deep-sea benthic ecosystems in the North Atlantic
Circulation patterns in the North Atlantic Ocean have changed and re-organized multiple
times over millions of years, influencing the biodiversity, distribution, and connectivity …

Paleoceanography of the Atlantic‐Mediterranean exchange: Overview and first quantitative assessment of climatic forcing
The Mediterranean Sea provides a major route for heat and freshwater loss from the North
Atlantic and thus is an important cause of the high density of Atlantic waters. In addition to …

Mediterranean overflow over the last 250 kyr: freshwater forcing from the tropics to the ice sheets
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 …
