Glacial-Interglacial Climactically Forced (delta13)C Variations in Sedimentary in Organic Matter

Sedimentary organic geochemical properties have long been used to characterize sedimentary organic matter, but the characterizations are often not unique. A study of variations in the northern Gulf of Mexico is presented, and four plausible mechanisms for variations are presented. A drilling project...

Description
Summary:Sedimentary organic geochemical properties have long been used to characterize sedimentary organic matter, but the characterizations are often not unique. A study of variations in the northern Gulf of Mexico is presented, and four plausible mechanisms for variations are presented. A drilling project in the Gulf is profiled.
