We compared faunal and isotope data on benthic foraminifera collected in 1999 and 1996/1997 with (1) published records for the early 1960s (Buzas, 1965) and the late 1940s (Parker, 1952), and (2) faunal data collected in cores in western LIS at depths of 11 and 26m. In both cores, the number ...

This response would be very wide of the mark. The" biotic response" session reflected a recent trend in paleoceanographic research that in my personal opinion is particularly fruitful: the integration of research by geochemical and micropaleontological paleoceanographers as ...

Sediments between and equivalent to the oldest lavas contain an influx of a diagnostic pollen flora, an influx of the dinocyst ...

We constructed age models using 137 Cs and 210 Pb data, combined with dated Hg pollution records and 14 C dating for the lower parts of the cores. Pollen analysis shows that anthropogenic marker pollen (eg, Ambrosia, Plantago, Rumex, and Poaceae) first increased in abundance during colonial land clearance in the 17 th century, followed by a second rapid increase in the 19 th/20 th ...

It consists of a northern and southern hilly region made up of morainal material, connected by two low, sandy spits covered with dunes, enclosing Great Salt Pond. The western tombolo (towards Block Island Sound) is breached so that ocean waters can enter the Pond. The Great New England Hurricane of 1938 caused major destruction on Block Island through its strong winds and ...

The resilience of coastal salt marsh environments at times of rising sea levels may be evaluated ... more The resilience of coastal salt marsh environments at times of rising sea levels may be evaluated through reconstruction of past rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR). Foraminifera (eukaryotic, unicellular, heterotrophic organisms), are abundant in salt marshes, and their species distribution in intertidal settings is primarily controlled by the fraction of time that the salt marsh surface is covered by sea water, a function of the elevation of the marsh surface and the local tidal range. Foraminiferal assemblage composition in peat samples dated ...
