The OMEX core CD110 W90, retrieved from the Douro Muddy Patch (DMP) off the River Douro in the north of Portugal, records the last ≈150 years, i.e. the period since the late Little Ice Age (LIA). The core chronology is mainly based upon 210Pb and 137Cs activities. Geochemical, granulometric and microfaunal (benthic foraminifera) data suggest the occurrence of precipitation changes which may have been, at least ...
This work aims to identify changes in paleoceanographic conditions on the NW Iberian Continental Margin during the last ~40 ka BP. Paleotemperatures expressed as mean annual Sea Surface Temperature (SSTma) and paleoproductivities expressed as Export Productivity (Pexpma) were evaluated using the modern analog technique SIMMAX 28, based on planktonic foraminifera census counts. The study took into account the re...
