• The Oceans Memory–Paleoceanography?
• Study of Oceans sedimentary record– Analyze Sediment Cores
Challenge Question
What is the Principle of Superposition?
In a deposit of undisturbed sedimentary rocks,oldest rocks at the bottom,youngest at the top
Sediments tell a story

Foundations of Paleoceanography
• Cesare Emiliani (1922-1995)– Godfather of Paleoceanography– Measure ratio oxygen (18O) vs normal oxygen (16O)
• in shells of Fomanifera (plankton)
• Varies w/ temp.– Good Indicator of seaH2O temp/time
» Cold H2O (high [18O] vs 16O» Warm H2O (low [18O] vs 16O» aka - delta O-18» Look at O-18 in sediment cores

Foundations of Paleoceanography
• Emergence of Kullenberg piston corer– Cores of 10-20m into ocean basins. . .
• Representing 1-2 million years of sediments
![Page 9: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• DEEP Sea Drilling Projects (Sediment Cores)• NSF (1971-1982) – Changes in Climate ~ 700,000 years
Climate: Long Range Investigation, Mapping and Prediction
aka (CLIMAP)
– Demonstrated Ice Ages result from Mileneum-Scale deviations
From Earth’s Orbit around Sun
-aka Milankovitch cycle
Foundations of Paleoceanography

• Confirming your Knowledge
– Using plankton (fomanifera) shells what elemental • ratio is used to gauge cold/warmer sea water temp/time?
– delta O18 vs O16

Classification of Marine Sedimentsmany source types:-based on grain size & organism type
Old Ocean Sediments:Mostly PhytoplanktonFormanifera (carbonate) ooze - 50%Diatom (silica) ooze - 15%

Sedimentary ProcessesWhat are they? = production, transport, deposition of
sediments
![Page 17: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sedimentary ProcessesHow and where do sediments move about on the
planet?
1. Starts w/ theHydrologic Cycle
-Exchange of H2Ob/w various reservoirs
![Page 18: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sedimentary Processes2. Continental Weathering
– what is it?
• Challenge Question• What are the 3 types weathering processes?
• 1. Physical – breaking apart of rocks via– Rock slides, earthquakes, debris flow
• 2. Chemical – dissolving of rocks via– Natural acidic rain, rivers etc.
• 3. Biological – activities of organisms via– fracture, dissolve, chemically alter rocks etc.
Dissolving, fracturing/ chemical alteration of rocks – -important role in cycling of elements (Iron, Calcium etc. ) and salinity in Sea Water
![Page 19: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sedimentary Processes• Sediment Sinking
• Grain size effects sinking
– Sediment traps measure carbon flux • Estimates Global carbon cycle
• Important For study of Climate change
–
plankton
![Page 20: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sedimentary Processes• Biological sedimentation
– The biological pump – complex– phytoplankton
• aka algae
=
PhytoPlankton ~ = Trees
Take in CO2 (from Atmosphere)
give off Oxygen
Lots of Stored Carbon (CO2) in sediments
Which Produces more O2 (Air) for earth and by how much?
Challenge Q
Algae, 70-80%!
Where does CO2 come from?
![Page 21: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sedimentary Processes• Calcium-Carbonate (calcite) Compensation Depth (CCD)
– Below certain depth, calcite shells dissolve
– aka “the lysocline”
– Challenge Q• What factors influence the solubility (dissolution) of calcite shells?
– Lower temp., Higher pressure
![Page 22: CHAPTER 5 ~ OCEAN Sediments. See Syllabus-revised Webpage HOMEWORK 1 DUE (Long Marine lab Field Trip) Turn in after class.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cbf5503460f94985703/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sedimentary Processes• Calcium-Carbonate (calcite) Compensation Depth (CCD)
– The CCD - What is it? • Depth/Region where: solid Calcite shells = dissolving Calcite shells
– No net change (1:1)
• Area of high plankton growth – shallow CCD (Artic, Antartic)
• Area of low plankton growth – deep CCD (Hawaii)– Based on solubility of Calcite in Water (think of Sugar in Water)
» If have LOTS, area is saturated (need more Liq. space to dissolve it)

Global Distribution of Sediments
• Calcite (Carbonate) sediments occupy – ~68% Atlantic ~36% Pacific
• Lower microorganism (algae growth) responsible? Final Challenge QWhy does the N. Pacific NOT
have the same Calcite deposition
as the N. Atlantic?
–Red clay occupies deepest regions
(calcite)
Think Geology(bathymetry)
No Mid ocean ridge In N. Pacific for shells to land on
They dissolve before then Can settle on something
