Calcareous nannoplankton of the Red Sea
- The objective of this thesis is to understand the calcareous nannoplankton response to past environmental changes in the northern Red Sea over the last 60,000 years. Calcareous nannoplankton findings, supplemented by geochemical and sedimentological data, were compared with other marine and terrestrial proxy records and discussed with respect to the climate history established so far. The thesis is divided into three parts, which focus on different aspects of the northern Red Sea history. (1) Paleoceanographic reconstruction of the northern Red Sea over the last 22,000 years. (2) Calcareous nannoplankton response to well-documented climate oscillations (long-term cooling cycles, Heinrich events) of Marine Isotope Stages 3 and 2. (3) High-resolution analysis of the late Holocene by investigating laminated sediments from a brine-filled, submarine basin located in the northern Red Sea (Shaban Deep).
