    Description / Table of Contents: This book provides a comprehensive overview of the taxonomy, biology, sedimentation, and carbonate geochemistry of modern species. Students, early career and advanced scientists alike will profit from a broad synthesis of the current understanding of planktic foraminifers as an ecological indicator, biogeochemical factories, and proxies in paleoceanography. The classification of modern species is amply illustrated with electron and light microscope images of morphotypes, addresses the state-of-the-art of molecular genetics of species, and provides a detailed guide for any laboratory analyses. The biology of planktic foraminifers is extensively discussed in chapters dedicated to the cellular ultrastructure, nutrition, symbionts, reproduction, ontogeny, and test architecture. Building on the biological prerequisites, the distribution of planktic foraminifers is discussed at regional to global scale. The geochemistry and sedimentation of tests are considered in relation to the ecology of the living animal. In the final chapter, which examines the most common methods in planktic foraminifer research, hands-on information is provided on sampling, processing and analyzing samples in the laboratory, as well as selected established methods for data interpretation. The various topics discussed in this book are aimed at the application of planktic foraminifers as sensitive indicators of the changing climate and marine environment

    Description: Highlights • We review the knowledge on modern high-latitude planktic foraminifers. • Subpolar species currently invade higher latitudes. • Climate change affects phenology, seawater pH, and carbon turnover. • Modern planktic foraminifers are briefly discussed for their paleoceanographic significance. Abstract Planktic foraminifers can be sensitive indicators of the changing environment including both the Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean. Due to variability in their ecology, biology, test characteristics, and fossil preservation in marine sediments, they serve as valuable archives in paleoceanography and climate geochemistry over the geologic time scale. Foraminifers are sensitive to, and can therefore provide proxy data on ambient water temperature, salinity, carbonate chemistry, and trophic conditions through shifts in assemblage (species) composition and the shell chemistry of individual specimens. Production and dissolution of the calcareous shell, as well as growth and remineralization of the cytoplasm, affect the carbonate counter pump and to a lesser extent the soft-tissue pump, at varying regional and temporal scales. Diversity of planktic foraminifers in polar waters is low in comparison to lower latitudes and is limited to three native species: Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, Turborotalita quinqueloba, and Globigerina bulloides, of which N. pachyderma is best adapted to polar conditions in the surface ocean. Neogloboquadrina pachyderma hibernates in brine channels in the lower layers of the Antarctic sea ice, a strategy that is presently undescribed in the Arctic. In open Antarctic and Arctic surface waters T. quinqueloba and G. bulloides increase in abundance at lower polar to subpolar latitudes and Globigerinita uvula, Turborotalita humilis, Globigerinita glutinata, Globorotalia inflata, and Globorotalia crassaformis complement the assemblages. Over the past two to three decades there has been a marked increase in the abundance of Orcadia riedeli and G. uvula in the subpolar and polar Indian Ocean, as well as in the northern North Atlantic. This paper presents a review of the knowledge of polar and subpolar planktic foraminifers. Particular emphasis is placed on the response of foraminifers to modern warming and ocean acidification at high latitudes and the implications for data interpretation in paleoceanography and paleoclimate research.

    Description: An important tool for deep-sea temperature reconstruction is Mg/Ca paleothermometry applied to benthic foraminifera. Foraminifera of the genus Melonis appear to be promising candidates for temperature reconstructions due to their wide geographical and bathymetric distribution, and their infaunal habitat, which was suggested to reduce secondary effects from carbonate ion saturation (Δ[CO3 2−]). Here, we make substantial advances to previous calibration efforts and present new multi-lab Mg/Ca data for Melonis barleeanum and Melonis pompilioides from more than one hundred core top samples spanning in situ bottom temperatures from −1 to 16 °C, coupled with morphometric analyses of the foraminifer tests. Both species and their morphotypes seem to have a similar response of Mg/Ca to growth temperature. Compilation of new and previously published data reveals a linear dependence of temperature on Mg/Ca, with a best fit of Mg/Ca (mmol/mol) = 0.113 ± 0.005 ∗ BWT (°C) + 0.792 ± 0.036 (r2 = 0.81; n = 120; 1σ SD). Salinity, bottom water Δ[CO3 2−], and varying morphotypes have no apparent effect on the Mg/Ca-temperature relationship, but pore water Δ[CO3 2−] might have had an influence on some of the samples from the tropical Atlantic.

    Description: Alexander Volker Altenbach was born in 1953 in Frankfurt/Main, Germany. Alex attended school in Königstein/Taunus, where he passed his Abitur in 1974. He then studied Geology and Paleontology at Goethe University, Frankfurt. During an internship on an oil rig in Denmark, he first experienced a professional working environment and the adventures of hydrocarbon exploration in the North Sea. For his diploma thesis Alex worked on the stratigraphy and tectonics of the Sierra de Montgai, in the Pyrenees, Spain, under the supervision of Rolf Schroeder, Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt/M. The subject comprised a genuine geological mapping exercise and biostratigraphic dating of the exposed formations. Stratigraphic ages were determined with the Mesozoic orbitoids and planktonic foraminifera in thin sections. Alex shared the long travels to Spain with his two companions Hans-Joachim Wallrabe-Adams (aka Kolli) and Peter Brinnel, enjoying an old “concha naranja” Volkswagen van, as well as field work in the spectacular scenery of the Sierra de Montsec, and living the Catalonian lifestyle. As late as 1993, the theme of Alex’s habilitation defense again was the geology of the Sierra de Montsec, for which he had kept his fascination (cf. Wallrabe-Adams et al., 2005). Being challenged by disentangling the complicated tectonic structure of the Sierra de Montgai, Alex learnt Fortran78 to produce a virtual Schmid net on the central university computer, visualizing different deformation styles of the different tectonic units. His early professional computer programming probably gave rise to his later endeavor in computing. Attracted by the developments in Marine Geosciences at Kiel University during the early 1980s, Alex joined the Micropaleontology Group of Gerhard Friedrich Lutze, and commenced …

    Description: Production and dispersion of coccolithophores are assessed within their ecologic and hydrographic context across enhanced spring chlorophyll production in the surface eastern North Atlantic. Within a 4 day period from 12 to 16 March 2004, a N-S transect from 47 degrees N to 33 degrees N was sampled along 20 degrees W. Water samples from defined depths down to 200 m were analyzed for coccolithophores from 0.45 mu m polycarbonate filters by scanning electron microscopy. At 47 degrees N coccolithophores flourished when euphotic conditions allowed new production at deep mixing, low temperatures, and high nutrient concentrations. Emiliania huxleyi flourished at high turbulence during an early stage of the phytoplankton succession and contributed half of the total coccolithophore assemblage, with up to 150 x 10(3) cells L(-1) and up to 12 x 10(9) cells m(-2) when integrated over the upper 200 m of the water column. Maximum chlorophyll concentrations occurred just north of the Azores Front, at 37 degrees N-39 degrees N, at comparatively low numbers of coccolithophores. To the south, at 35 degrees N-33 degrees N, coccolithophores were abundant within calm and stratified Subtropical Mode Waters, and E. huxleyi was the dominant species again. Although the cell densities of coccolithophores observed here remained below those typical of plankton blooms visible from satellite images, the depth-integrated total mass makes them significant producers of calcite and contributors to the total carbon sedimentation at a much wider range of ecological conditions during late winter and early spring than hitherto assumed.

    Description: Deepwater circulation significantly changed during the last deglaciation from a shallow to a deep-reaching overturning cell. This change went along with a drawdown of isotopically light waters into the abyss and a deep ocean warming that changed deep ocean stratification from a salinity-to a temperature-controlled mode. Yet, the exact mechanisms causing these changes are still unknown. Furthermore, the long-standing idea of a complete shutdown of North Atlantic deepwater formation during Heinrich Stadial 1 (HS1) (17.5–14.6 kyr BP) remains prevalent. Here, we present a new compilation of benthic δ13C and δ18O data from the North Atlantic at high temporal resolution with consistent age models, established as part of the international PAGES working group OC3, to investigate deepwater properties in the North Atlantic. The extensive compilation, which includes 105 sediment cores, reveals different water masses during HS1. A water mass with heavy δ13C and δ18O signature occupies the Iceland Basin, whereas between 20 and 50°N, a distinct tongue of 18O depleted, 13C enriched water reaches down to 4000 m water depths. The heavy δ13C signature indicates active deepwater formation in the North Atlantic during HS1. Differences in its δ18O signature indicate either different sources or an alteration of the deepwater on its southward pathway. Based on these results, we discuss concepts of deepwater formation in the North Atlantic that help to explain the deglacial change from a salinity-driven to a temperature-driven circulation mode. Highlights • Spatial analyses of benthic δ13C and δ18O data from OC3 Atlantic compilation for HS1. • Heavy δ13C, light δ18O waters migrated into deep western North Atlantic basin during HS1. • Active deepwater formation between 30 and 60°N in the North Atlantic during HS1. • New concepts for transport of isotopically light δ18O into deep ocean. • Major contribution of North Atlantic waters to deglacial deep ocean stratification changes.
