(Table 1) Biogenic and terrigenous components and ages of ODP Hole 167-1020B sediments@en

The California Current and associated coastal upwelling have changed with the growth and decay of the North American ice sheets since 2.5 Ma. Because the coastal upwelling has a close relationship with biogenic productivity in surface water, analyses of biogenic components in sediments of the upwelling region enable us to reconstruct the past changes of the productivity and/or the current systems.
