Variability in the Ionian Sea (Core KC01B) during MIS 9-13 evidenced by planktonic foraminiferal assemblages

This work refers about new high-resolution planktonic foraminiferal data throughout MIS 13-9 on the sediment core KC01B collected in the Ionian basin (eastern Mediterranean Sea) at 3643 m water depth. This deep marine record represents a key site for the construction of a sapropel-based astronomical...

Description
Summary:This work refers about new high-resolution planktonic foraminiferal data throughout MIS 13-9 on the sediment core KC01B collected in the Ionian basin (eastern Mediterranean Sea) at 3643 m water depth. This deep marine record represents a key site for the construction of a sapropel-based astronomical timescale for the last 1.1 My (LOURENS, 2004) in the Mediterranean sea and contains an high number of tephra layers. This study is based on quantitative analysis of planktonic foraminifera with a time resolution of about 380 kyr.
