Previous paleoceanographic applications of the N isotopes in the eastern equatorial Pacific have used the N isotopic composition of the bulk sediment, which can be biased by diagenetic alteration or foreign N input. To avoid these biases, we measured foraminifera shell-bound d15N (FB-d15N) on the tw...
