Late Pleistocene sedimentation in the Western Mediterranean Sea: implications for productivity changes and climatic conditions in the catchment areas
Syee Weldeab,Syee Weldeab,Wolfgang Siebel,Rolf Wehausen,Kay-Christian Emeis,Gerhard Schmiedl,Christoph Hemleben +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, sediment cores from the Western Mediterranean Sea (WMS) have been analyzed for their bulk element composition, δ18O values of planktic foraminiferal tests, and 87Sr/86Sr and 143Nd/144Nd ratios of their bulk lithogenic components.
Deep-sea foraminifera in the South Atlantic Ocean; ecology and assemblage generation
TL;DR: In this paper, benthic foraminiferal assemblages of 237 high-quality surface sediment samples from the South Atlantic Ocean, including the Atlantic sector of the circumpolar ocean, were quantitatively analyzed.
Monsoon-driven changes in aeolian and fluvial sediment input to the central Red Sea recorded throughout the last 200,000 years
TL;DR: In this article , three different source areas for mineral dust are identified and the dominant source is located in the eastern Sahara (Sudan and southernmost Egypt) and the second source is probably located on the eastern Arabian Peninsula and/or Mesopotamia, while the presence of kaolinite suggests an additional minor dust source in northern Egypt.
Holocene rainfall runoff in the central Ethiopian highlands and evolution of the River Nile drainage system as revealed from a sediment record from Lake Dendi
Bernd Wagner,Volker Wennrich,Finn Viehberg,Annett Junginger,Anne Kolvenbach,Janet Rethemeyer,Frank Schaebitz,Gerhard Schmiedl +7 more
TL;DR: A 12-m long sediment sequence was recovered from the eastern Dendi Crater lake, located on the central Ethiopian Plateau and in the region of the Blue Nile headwaters as discussed by the authors.
Testing the applicability of a benthic foraminiferal-based transfer function for the reconstruction of paleowater depth changes in Rhodes (Greece) during the early Pleistocene.

TL;DR: Paleo-water depth reconstructions for the Pefka E section deposited on the island of Rhodes (Greece) during the early Pleistocene are presented and are found to be robust and significant at the 95% confidence level, but it is observed that these estimates are strongly overprinted by orbital, precession-driven changes in paleo-productivity.
