Element ratios and stable isotopes of foraminifers from ODP Site 202-1237

Downcore records of magnesium/calcium, strontium/calcium, manganese/calcium, and oxygen and carbon isotopes of planktonic and benthic foraminifers from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1237 on the Peru-Chile margin provide critical information regarding the history of climate in the region over the past 6 m.y. Specifically, these records can be used to infer the sea-surface temperature (SST) and sea-surface salinity (SSS) history of a region that today is associated with substantial wind stress curl-driven upwelling (Shipboard Scientific Party, 2003, doi:10.2973/odp.proc.ir.202.108.2003).
