GEOTRACES-PAGES Synthesis Workshop Publications

News

29 November 2021

We would like to draw your attention to four synthesis papers that have been published as an outgrowth of stimulating discussions that were held during the GEOTRACES-PAGES workshop on geochemical proxies used in paleoceanography, in December 2018 in Aix-Marseille, France.

Each of these synthesis papers represents a valuable resource summarising state of the art information about the proxies used and about the products of their application. Each of these papers is also published as “open access” so they are freely available and we would encourage everyone to download copies for future reference and use.

In addition, although not a direct product of the workshop, discussions during the workshop helped to inform the preparation of the following publication:

  • Tachikawa, K., Rapuc, W., Dubois-Dauphin, Q., Guihou, A., & Skonieczny, C. (2020). Reconstruction of Ocean Circulation Based on Neodymium Isotopic Composition: Potential Limitations and Application to the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. Oceanography, 33(2), 80-87, doi: https://doi.org/0.5670/oceanog.2020.205

We would like to thank again the sponsors of the Workshop: the international PAGES programme, the US-National Science Foundation, the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research, Aix-Marseille Université and John Cantle Scientific.
