Changes in Magnetic Parameters After Sequential Iron Phase Extraction of Eastern Mediterranean Sapropel S1 Sediments
Iron is distributed over different minerals (i.e. silicates, pyrite, detrital oxides) that are present in a sediment sequence that formed under anoxic conditions. After post-depositional re-oxidation of the se...

Oxidation and Origin of Organic Matter in Surficial Eastern Mediterranean Hemipelagic Sediments
Aerobic mineralisation of Corg in surface sedimentsof the deep (>2000 m water depth) eastern Mediterranean Sea has been quantified by analysis of detailedbox core Corg concentration versus depth profiles and the ...

An unusual mid-Pleistocene monsoon period over Africa and Asia
During the Quaternary period, organic-rich black layers called sapropels were intermittently deposited in the deep eastern Mediterranean Sea1,2 following high flood periods of the Nile River3. During the past 250...

Post-depositional stability of long-chain alkenones under contrasting redox conditions
PRYMNESIOPHYTE algae, which include the coccolithophorid species Emiliania huxleyi1, are the recognized biological source of a series of long-chain (C37, c38, 39, unsaturated methyl and ethyl ketones2 widely obse...

Discovery of an anoxic basin within the Strabo Trench, eastern Mediterranean
We report here the discovery of a basin, which we call the Tyro Basin, in the eastern Mediterranean in which anoxic conditions exist and organic-rich sediments are accumulating. Bottom water samples show extre...

Recent sapropel formation in the eastern Mediterranean
During the 1983 expedition of the RV Tyro in the eastern Mediterranean, a combined programme of seismological, micropalaeontological and geochemical research was performed. The geochemical research focused mainly...

Geochemical evidence of a massive slide in the southern Norwegian Sea
During the 1981 cruise of the MS Tyro to the southern Norwegian Basin several piston-cores were collected for sedimentological research. Some of these were available for geochemical study (Fig. 1). In laboratory ...
