Source areas and transport mechanisms for freshwater and brackish-water diatoms deposited in pelagic sediments of the equatorial Atlantic
This paper presents additional evidence on the source areas and transporting agents of freshwater microfossils in sediments of the equatorial Atlantic. This study confirms the validity of paleoclimatic research which inferred eolian transport
Environmental hazards and mitigation in the U.S. Middle Atlantic coastal zone
Major meteorological and hydrological hazards such as maritime storms, sea-fog, coastal floods, dune blowouts, nearshore ice drift and thermo-abrasion are periodic phenomena that adversely impact Middle Atlantic coastlines. Secular changes
Blockierungssituation im europäisch-atlantischen Raum, Teil 1 : Phänomenologische Untersuchungen (Blocking situations in the European-Atlantic region, Part 1 : Phenomenological studies)
The catalogue of blocking situations in the European-Atlantic region presented by Montalto et al (1971) is extended to the period 1951-1983. Inter-annual variations in the frequency of blocking situations show quasi-biennial periods. - (IH)
Identification of density-stratified waters in the Late-Pleistocene North Atlantic: a faunal derivation
An expanded study of the radiolarian Cycladophora davisiana in late-Pleistocene North Atlantic marine sediments shows that over the last several hundred thousand years this species exhibits large variations in relative abundance. High C. davisiana
The atmospheric energy budgets over North America, the North Atlantic and Europe
for the North Atlantic area (in the climatological jet exit), while Europe, not so clearly in a climatological jet entrance or exit, is somewhere between the two extremes. (JPB).
Thermal minima along the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Mid-Atlantic Ridge basalts erupted near fracture zones seem to have lower quenching temperatures than along unfractured ridge segments probably because of enhanced cooling by exposing magmas to colder fault planes and more intense seawater
Two-step deglaciation: C-dated high-resolution O records from the Tropical Atlantic Ocean
Eight box cores from the tropical Atlantic were studied in detail with regard to foraminiferal oxygen isotopes, radiocarbon, and Globorotalia menardii abundance. A standard Atlantic oxygenisotope signal was reconstructed for the last 20.000 yr
Amino acid enantiomeric (D/L) ratios in the mollusk Mercenaria are compared with recently published biostratigraphic and/or U-series solitary coral data from 22 Quaternary localities on the central and southern Atlantic Coastal Plain. In all cases
The Central North Atlantic ocean basin and continental margins: geology, geophysics, geochemistry and resources, including the Trans-Atlantic Geotraverse. (TAG).
