The SE-Atlantic in the late pleistocene and holocene : paleoceanographic interpretations based on sedimentological, geochemical and foraminiferal data
Die ozeanographische und sedimentologische Entwicklung der drei Tiefseebecken des südöstlichen Atlantiks (Kapbecken, Angolabecken, Guineabecken) während des Holozäns wurde anhand der Foraminiferenfauna und geochemisch-sedimentologischer Parameter rekonstruiert. Im Golf von Guinea spiegeln die Schwan...
