Stable isotope record of northeastern Australian Margin@en

Stable isotopic data obtained from planktonic and benthic foraminifers were used to study paleoceanographic changes along the northeastern Australian margin from late Miocene (10 Ma) to Holocene time, and to evaluate the influence of these changes on reef growth. The data indicate that variations in surface-water temperatures may have had an important effect on the reef complexes on the Queensland Plateau and possibly off the northeastern Australian margin. Three sites were studied: Leg 21, Site 209 on the eastern edge of the Queensland Plateau, and Leg 133, Site 811 on the western margin, and Site 817 on the lower southern slope of the plateau. […]本数据集采用采自浮游有孔虫与底栖有孔虫（planktonic and benthic foraminifers）的稳定同位素数据（stable isotopic data），用以研究澳大利亚东北缘（northeastern Australian margin）自中新世晚期（late Miocene，10 Ma）至全新世（Holocene time）的古海洋学变化（paleoceanographic changes），并评估此类变化对珊瑚礁生长（reef growth）的影响。研究结果表明，表层海水温度（surface-water temperatures）的变化可能对昆士兰海台（Queensland Plateau）以及澳大利亚东北缘附近的礁体群（reef complexes）产生了重要影响。本次研究共分析了3个站位：第21航次（Leg 21）的209站位（Site 209，位于昆士兰海台东缘）、第133航次（Leg 133）的811站位（Site 811，位于该海台西缘），以及该海台南部下斜坡的817站位。[...]
