ISOTOPES IN MARINE SEDIMENTS

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research ((DPER,volume 10))

Abstract

Marine sediments provide long continuous records of past climate changes at intra-annual, to centennial scale resolutions enabling insights into past changes within both oceanic and continental environments. Stable isotopes provide palaeoceanographers with the means to reconstruct a range of variables including surface and deep ocean circulation patterns, sea surface and bottom water temperature, sea surface salinity, iceberg activity and origin, upwelling intensity, productivity, nutrient utilisation, surface-water dissolved carbon dioxide content and water-column oxygen content in addition to inferences on global ice volume, sheet failure, river discharge, aridity, vegetation composition, and continental erosion rates.
