DOI: 10.1002/esp.4263
Abstract: The assessment of sediment yield from reservoir siltation requires knowledge of the reservoir's sediment trap efficiency (TE). Widely used approaches for the estimation of the long-term mean TE rely on the ratio of the reservoir's… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10933-018-0020-5
Abstract: Sediment trap studies and high frequency monitoring are of great importance to develop a deeper understanding of how seasonal environmental processes are imprinted in sediment signal formation. We collected whole year diatom assemblages from 2002… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gb006194
Abstract: Long‐term data characterizing the oceans' biological carbon pump are essential for understanding impacts of climate variability on marine ecosystems. The “Bakun upwelling intensification hypothesis” suggests intensified coastal upwelling due to a greater land‐sea temperature gradient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003682
Abstract: The ratio of boron to calcium (B/Ca) in a subset of foraminifera has been shown to covary with seawater carbonate chemistry, making this geochemical signature a promising proxy for carbon cycle science. Some studies suggest… read more here.
