Benthic foraminifera and bottom water evolution in the middle-southern Okinawa Trough during the last 18 ka
A piston sediment core E017 from the middle-southern Okinawa Trough was investigated. A preliminary study of the deep-water evolution since 18 cal. ka BP was performed based on the quantitative census data of ...

Evolution and variation of the Tsushima warm current during the late quaternary: Evidence from planktonic foraminifera, oxygen and carbon isotopes
The evolution and variation history of the Tsushima warm current during the late Quaternary was reconstructed based on the quantitative census data of planktonic foraminiferal fauna, together with oxygen and c...

An improved Hurst parameter estimator based on fractional Fourier transform
A fractional Fourier transform (FrFT) based estimation method is introduced in this paper to analyze the long range dependence (LRD) in time series. The degree of LRD can be characterized by the Hurst paramete...

Open AccessCalcareous nannofossil bioevents and microtektite stratigraphy in the Western Philippine Sea during the Quaternary
Two sediment cores, MD06-3050 and MD06-3047, were analyzed to study the Quaternary calcareous nannofossil and microtektite records. We dated bioevents and the microtektite impact event by calibrating with oxyg...

A quantitative reconstruction of the paleoenviornmental variations of the South Yellow Sea inner shelf based on benthic foraminiferal transfer functions
Transfer functions between the benthic foraminiferal fauna of seventy-one sediment surface-samples retrieved from the South Yellow Sea inner shelf and the environmental factors, including the summer bottom-wat...
