A Pliocene‐Pleistocene stack of 57 globally distributed benthic δ<sup>18</sup>O records

L. E. Lisiecki, Maureen E. Raymo · 17 Jan 2005

We present a 5.3‐Myr stack (the “LR04” stack) of benthic δ 18 O records from 57 globally distributed sites aligned by an automated graphic correlation algorithm. This is the first benthic δ 18 O stack composed of more than three records to extend beyond 850 ka, and we use its improved signal quality to identify…

Glacial‐interglacial CO<sub>2</sub> change: The Iron Hypothesis

John H. Martin · 1 Feb 1990

Several explanations for the 200 to 280 ppm glacial/interglacial change in atmospheric CO 2 concentrations deal with variations in southern ocean phytoplankton productivity and the related use or nonuse of major plant nutrients. An hypothesis is presented herein in which arguments are made that new productivity in today's southern ocean (7.4 × 10 13 g…

Dissociation of oceanic methane hydrate as a cause of the carbon isotope excursion at the end of the Paleocene

Gerald R. Dickens, James R. O’Neil, David K. Rea et al. · 1 Dec 1995

Isotopic records across the “Latest Paleocene Thermal Maximum“ (LPTM) indicate that bottom water temperature increased by more than 4°C during a brief time interval (&lt;10 4 years) of the latest Paleocene (∼55.6 Ma). There also was a coeval −2 to −3‰ excursion in the δ 13 C of the ocean/atmosphere inorganic carbon reservoir. Given the…

Barium in Deep‐Sea Sediment: A Geochemical Proxy for Paleoproductivity

Jack Dymond, Erwin Suess, Mitchell W Lyle · 1 Apr 1992

We used sediment traps to define the particulate fluxes of barium and organic carbon and investigate the use of barium as a proxy for ocean fertility. Strong correlations between C org and Ba fluxes indicate a link between upper ocean biological processes and barium flux to the seafloor. The ratio of organic carbon to barium…

Mo–total organic carbon covariation in modern anoxic marine environments: Implications for analysis of paleoredox and paleohydrographic conditions

Thomas J. Algeo, Timothy W. Lyons · 1 Mar 2006

Sedimentary molybdenum, [Mo] s , has been widely used as a proxy for benthic redox potential owing to its generally strong enrichment in organic‐rich marine facies deposited under oxygen‐depleted conditions. A detailed analysis of [Mo] s –total organic carbon (TOC) covariation in modern anoxic marine environments and its relationship to ambient water chemistry suggests that…

Paleoceanography template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Paleoceanography format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Paleoceanography template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AGU (American Geophysical Union) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Paleoceanography use?
Paleoceanography uses Author–year (APA) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B., & Lee, C. (2023). A representative article title. Paleoceanography, 12(3), 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Paleoceanography?
No. DocuGuru generates the agujournal2025 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AGU (American Geophysical Union)-ready Paleoceanography document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Paleoceanography template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Paleoceanography format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Paleoceanography?
Paleoceanography is a earth and environmental sciences journal published by AGU (American Geophysical Union). DocuGuru's Paleoceanography template matches AGU (American Geophysical Union)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Paleoceanography PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Paleoceanography template (the agujournal2025 class) that is ready to submit to AGU (American Geophysical Union), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Paleoceanography template cost?
You can start writing in the Paleoceanography template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Paleoceanography PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
