Detailed studies of benthonic foraminifera, stable isotopes, and lithofacies in cores from the southeastern Alpha Ridge, central Arctic Ocean, reveal some new aspects of Arctic Ocean paleoceanography. High ratios of benthonic to planktonic foraminifera are found in most of the Quaternary sediment un...
