Palaeomonsoon and palaeoproductivity records of 18O, 13C and CaCO3 variations in the northern Indian Ocean sediments
18O and 13C of G. sacculifer have been measured in five cores from the northern Indian Ocean. In addition, high resolution analysis (1 to 2 cm) was performed on one core (SK-20-185) for both 18O and 13C in five species of planktonic foraminifera. CaCO3 variation was measured in two cores. The result...
