Two sediment cores from the Murray Canyons area, south of Kangaroo Island, South Australia, were investigated for proxy-records to reconstruct past productivity of the surface waters in the area over the last 175 ka. The proxies used included concentrations of aragonite, low- and high-Mg calcite, to...
