Scanning electron micrographs of Globigerinoides ruber
Detailed Description
Scanning electron micrographs of Globigerinoides ruber (White) morphotypes. (1) a and b. G. ruber (W) sensu lato; (2) c and d. G. ruber (W) sensu stricto. Scientists at the USGS investigated the difference in the oxygen isotopic composition of the 2 morphotypes of G. ruber in the sediment trap. This figure and additional details can be found in Thirumalai and others, 2014.

Paleoceanographic Proxy Calibration
A sediment trap time series in the northern Gulf of America is used to better assess the control of environmental variables (e.g., temperature and salinity) on the flux of both microfossils and molecular fossils to the sediments. The information gained from sediment trap studies is used to develop better proxy-based estimates of past oceanographic conditions from analyses of microfossils and...
