Climatic records of the late Holocene from sediment core GeoB9504-3 off Senegal
High-resolution climatic records of the late Holocene along the north-west African continental margin are scarce. Here we combine sediment grain size, elemental distribution and... -
TEX86H proxy and BIT index of sediment core GeoB9528-3 and reconstructed temp...
Changes in the strength of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) are known to have profound impacts on global climate. Coupled modelling studies have suggested... -
Age models, organic analyses and major-element analyses of sediment cores on ...
The distribution of rainfall in tropical Africa is controlled by the African rainbelt1, which oscillates on a seasonal basis. The rainbelt has varied on centennial to millennial... -
Pollen and organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages of sediment core Ge...
Pollen and organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst assemblages from core GeoB 9503-5 retrieved from the mud-belt ( 50 m water depth) off the Senegal River mouth have been analyzed to... -
Chemistry and grain-size distribution of terrigenous sediments deposited at S...
The Sahara Desert is the largest source of mineral dust in the world. Emissions of African dust increased sharply in the early 1970s, a change that has been attributed mainly to... -
Ladderane lipid analysis and pore water and sediment chemistry of sediment co...
The presence and abundance of anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria was investigated in continental shelf and slope sediments (300-3000 m water depth) off northwest... -
Rock magnetic, element, and color data of three sediment cores along the Sene...
We present a suite of new high-resolution records (0-135 ka) representing pulses of aeolian, fluvial, and biogenic sedimentation along the Senegalese continental margin. A... -
Stable oxygen and carbon isotopes ratios of sediment core GeoB9528-3
The carbon isotopic composition of individual plant leaf waxes (a proxy for C3 vs. C4 vegetation) in a marine sediment core collected from beneath the plume of Sahara-derived... -
Age model, isotope analyses, geochemical measurements and grain size analyses...
The influence of the large-scale ocean circulation on Sahel rainfall is elusive because of the shortness of the observational record. We reconstructed the history of eolian and... -

Grain-size distribution of the terrigenous silt fraction of 16 samples from C...
Only the terrigenous fraction of the sediment was analyzed, i.e., organic matter, carbonate and biogenic opal were removed chemically before measurement. -
