[Sigrid Lichti-Federovich] -- Diatom analysis of a Pleistocene sediment sample from Cape Storm, Ellesmere Island, dated at 35, to 43, Pleistocene Diatom Assemblage From Ellesmere Island years, resulted in the identification and ecological characterization of InD/V-Chikyu cruise CK drilled Hole CC at Site C in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, 80 km east of the Shimokita Peninsula, Japan.
An existing chronostratigraphic framework provides a continuous glacial-interglacial (G-I) climate record from which a diatom record of paleoenvironmental changes was developed across several G-I by: 1.
The character and impact of climate change since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in the eastern Mediterranean region remain poorly understood. Here, two new diatom records from the Ioannina basin in northwest Greece are presented alongside a pre-existing record and used to infer past changes in lake level, a proxy for the balance between precipitation and by: The Pleistocene diatom species observed in sediment recovered from Site consist primarily of modern arctic and subarctic species (Ko Karpuz and Schrader, ; N.
Ko, unpubl. data). These include Actinocyclus curvatulus, Thalassiosira gravida spore and vegetative cells, Rhizosolenia hebetata, Thalassiothrix longissima, and the warm-water.

Paleolimnological Pleistocene Diatom Assemblage From Ellesmere Island from three high-arctic ponds on Cape Herschel, Ellesmere Island, Canada, show that diatom assemblages were relatively stable over the last few millennia but then experienced.
By the end of subzone B2 ( ka), D. stelligera had gradually increased to a peak of ~55% of the diatom assemblage. Zone C ( ka to present) began with an initial decline in A.
formosa, D. stelligera, and F. tenera. Discostella stelligera recovered, and quickly rose to about 60% by ka. the whole, however, the diatom frustules are well pre-served, and only in Sample A, cm did we observe valves with obvious traces of dissolution. At the base of the section a unit is distinguished (Sec-tions A to A), the sediments of which are relatively poor in the diatom assemblage typical of.

The diatom assemblage from the deepest core in this study, CH, places the core in the Rouxia californica (Y anagisawa and Akiba, ) and Nitzschia mioc enica (Barron, a) Zones.
Following a marine transgression which inundated the Truelove Lowland up to an elevation of 86 m by approximately 9 years BP, lake development was initiated by glacio-isostatic rebound which isolated marine lagoons behind a series of raised beaches. The ages and elevations of whalebones and driftwood contained in these beaches permit the reconstruction of the progressive emergence of the.
Miocene, all of the diatom assemblages are readily zonable by the Leg North Pacific diatom zonation (Fig. 3), and standard North Pa-cific diatom datum levels are recognizable from the late early Mio-cene Crucidenticula sawamurae Zone through the late Pleistocene.
Accumulation of fossil diatoms in marine sediments is variably affected by the production and dissolution of diatom frustules across space and time.
No quantitative proxy exists for estimating the amount of silica lost to dissolution in Southern.

Black circles are locations of the 60 lakes used to develop the diatom‐based pH inference model [Joynt and Wolfe, ].These training set sites extend at least km in a north‐south transect from Lake CF3, in a strategy aimed to capture, within modern climate space, the range of possible conditions encountered.
An m-high coastal bluff at Togiak Bay (northwestern Bristol Bay, southwestern Alaska) exposes marine, lacustrine, fluvial, glacial, volcanic, and organic deposits that record the ∼50,year-long transition from the peak of the last interglaciation to the early Wisconsin glaciation.
An introduction to Ellef Ringnes Island, Prince Patrick Islandand Northern Ellesmere Island. From the preface This project was initiated in with the development of a surface diatomcalibration set for selected regions from the Arctic the study surface sediments, mosses,rock and otheravailable habitats were studied from 91 ponds and became clear that the diatoms.

The modern diatom flora from surface sediment of the Navarin Basin region of the Bering Sea is dominated by Denticulopsis seminae and Nitzschia oceanica.
seminae, a north boreal species, is most abundant in the deeper waters of the slope-basin regions, whereas N. oceanica, an Arctic species associated with ice cover, dominates the shallow shelf water.

The most effective method for diatom isolation, which will be identified by this study, can be employed in future Lake Waiau research.
The second aspect, the successful identification of the diatoms, will presumably serve as a basis for the creation of the complete diatom assemblage. Pleistocene. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The work was supported by NSF Grant OCE REFERENCES Burckle, L.
