Lecture
Biomineralization: Paleoclimatology and Foraminifera
Description
This lecture covers the study of paleoclimatology, focusing on the use of foraminifera as proxies to reconstruct past ocean conditions. It discusses the identification of reliable paleoseawater-temperature proxies, the different forms of diagenesis affecting foraminifera, and the advantages of using foraminifera for paleoclimate reconstructions. The lecture also explores the challenges and solutions related to the Cool-tropics Paradox, where discrepancies in temperature reconstructions between high and low latitudes are discussed.
