Paleoceanography Notes:

  • Topics of Paleoceanography include Surface-sea Temperature, Bottom-sea Temperature, Salinity, Ocean Circulation, Acidity, pH, and Alkalinity.
  • Proxies are the main focus on determining how the ocean's behaved in the past.
  • Oxygen-18 isotopes are useful in determining past sea surface temperatures.
  • Element ratios are useful in determining how the ocean's circulations were in the past.
  • Shellfish shells are useful in determining CO2 concentrations in the oceans in the past.
