DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2019.05.008
Abstract: Climate change will lead to community shifts and increase the vulnerability of coastal marine ecosystems, but there is yet insufficient detail of how early life stages of marine populations are linked to oceanic-climate dynamics. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.orggeochem.2017.10.014
Abstract: Abstract Hydroxylated glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (OH-GDGTs) have been recently proposed as novel proxies for sea surface temperature (SST) estimation. However, it is still unclear whether these proxies are applicable to the tropical South China… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2018.02.007
Abstract: Abstract Coral skeletons are natural archives whose geochemical signatures provide insights into the tropical ocean history beyond the instrumental record. Carbon stable isotopes from coral skeletons (δ13Ccoral) have been used as a proxy for multiple… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022pa004498
Abstract: Speleothem oxygen isotope records (δ18O) of tropical South American rainfall in the late Quaternary show a zonal “South American Precipitation Dipole” (SAPD). The dipole is characterized by opposing east‐west precipitation anomalies compared to the present—wetter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-38003-6
Abstract: Recent paleoclimatic studies suggest that changes in the tropical rainbelt across the Atlantic Ocean during the past two millennia are linked to a latitudinal shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) driven by the Northern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.14111
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are major contributors to ocean biogeochemical cycling. However, mixotrophic metabolism and the relative importance of inorganic and organic carbon assimilation within the most abundant cyanobacteria are still poorly understood. We explore the ability of… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2017-556
Abstract: Heterotrophic prokaryotic production (BP) was studied in the Western Tropical South Pacific using the leucine technique. Integrated over the euphotic zone, BP ranged from 58–120 mg C m −2 d −1 within the Melanesian Archipelago, and from 31–50 mg C m… read more here.
