Micropaleontology as a tool to date and identify climate events in marine sedimentary records
Microfossils are an outstanding tool for climate and oceanographic reconstructions in marine sediment cores because of their high abundance in the sediments and because their tests allow us to perform geochemical studies, particularly those which are made of calcium carbonate. Given that planktonic...

Microfossils are an outstanding tool for climate and oceanographic reconstructions in marine sediment cores because of their high abundance in the sediments and because their tests allow us to perform geochemical studies, particularly those which are made of calcium carbonate. Given that planktonic foraminifer species’ distribution in the modern ocean is intimately related to climate and oceanographic conditions, planktonic foraminifer assemblages have been widely used to reconstruct paleoclimate and paleoceanographic variability. The rapid response of this group of organisms to climate change brings the possibility of identifying climatic events in a sedimentary record and link them to the equivalent event in a reference record with good chronology. This technique is called event-stratigraphy and allows for precise and high-resolution dating of sedimentary records. This is the case, for instance, of event-stratigraphy using the ice-core records of Greenland as the reference record.
