Proxies for paleo-oxygenation: A downcore comparison between benthic foraminiferal surface porosity and I/Ca

Abstract:

Benthic foraminiferal surface porosity (the mean percentage of surface area covered by pores; higher porosity: lower oxygenation) and iodine to calcium ratio (I/Ca, higher I/Ca: higher oxygenation) are both promising paleoceanographic proxies that will advance through testing in down-core studies. Here we report the first down-core comparison (~45 kyr) of these proxies for a core from the southern Brazilian margin (26°40.22′ S, 46°26.46′ W, 475 m water depth). Both proxies are most sensitive ...
