10 Recent work has shown the silicon isotope composition, denoted by δ30Si, of deep-sea 11 sponges reflects the concentration of ambient silicic acid (Si(OH)4) in seawater. 12 However, existing… (More)
15 The polar foraminifera Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sinistral) dominates assemblages from 16 the high latitude Southern Ocean, which is a key region for paleoclimate studies. Here, 17 we use N.… (More)
A study was carried out to assess primary production and associated export flux in the coastal waters of the western Antarctic Peninsula at an oceanographic time-series site. New, i.e. exportable,… (More)
Ice sheets play a more important role in the global silicon cycle than previously appreciated. Input of dissolved and amorphous particulate silica into natural waters stimulates the growth of… (More)
[1] During the last 50 years, the Antarctic Peninsula has experienced rapid warming with associated retreat of 87% of marine and tidewater glacier fronts. Accelerated glacial retreat and iceberg… (More)
The carbonate clumped isotope thermometer is a promising tool for determining past ocean temperatures. It is based on the temperature dependence of rare isotopes ‘clumping’ into the same carbonate… (More)
Despite a growing body of work that uses diatom dSi to reconstruct past changes in silicic acid utilisation, few studies have focused on calibrating core top data with modern oceanographic… (More)
