We investigate the potential of using grain-size sorted marine sediments for biomarker analysis GDGT distributions are consistent regardless of grain-size sorting, and fine-grained sediment fract...

Abstract. Pulleniatina is a genus of planktonic foraminifera that is widely used in biostratigraphic and palaeoceanographic studies. In our taxonomy, it comprises six morphospecies, alphabetically P. ...

Abstract. The middle Eocene through early Oligocene was an important interval for Cenozoic climate evolution, having a substantial impact on global palaeoceanography and the biosphere. At the Eocene–O...

The closure of the Tethys Ocean during the Miocene represents one of the most profound reorganisations of Earth’s surface systems in the Cenozoic. Once a vast marine corridor linking the Indo-Pacific ...

Abstract. Data on marine microfossil assemblage composition have multiple applications. Initially, they were primarily used for (chrono)stratigraphy and palaeoecology, but these data are now also wide...

This study examines the history of North Atlantic deep-water masses, as recorded in marine sediments. Major lithological changes and increased rate of deposition reveal that stronger deep-ocean circul...

Abstract. The ratio of the trace element Mg over Ca (Mg/Ca) and the oxygen isotopic composition (δ18O) of foraminiferal calcite are widely employed for reconstructing past ocean temperatures, although...

UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

These ‘warming stripes’, adopted around the world as a symbol of climate awareness, action and ambition, now include another dark red stripe for 2024.

ALT: a clock with the hands on the numbers 1 and 2

Low-latitude planktonic foraminifera are coping with rapid ocean warming, acidification and nutrient shifts by migrating to deeper water-column depths or polewards, displacing higher-latitude species ...
