In the light of new surface sediment delta(15)N data collected over the Namibian shelf and slope, we examined glacial-interglacial variations of N inventory in the area of Luderitz (25 degrees 6S) by deciphering delta(15)N signals of three cores distributed from the upper to the lower continental slope. The lower slope cores display low delta(15)N during cold periods and high delta(15)N during climatic optima, akin to many other records from the world ocean, whereas the upper slope core displays a high-frequency low-amplitude delta(15)N signal without obvious glacial-interglacial variability. This dissimilarity results from the segregation of the upwelling structure in two cells, decoupling nutrient dynamics of the shelf from those beyond the shelf-edge.... |

Although productivity variations in coastal upwelling areas are mostly attributed to changes in wind strength, productivity dynamics in the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS) is less straightforward due to its complex atmospheric and hydrographic settings. In view of these settings, past productivity variations in the BUS can be better investigated with downcore sediments representing different productivity regimes. In this study, two sediment cores retrieved at ca. 25°–26°S in the BUS and representing different productivity regimes were studied. By using micropaleontological, geochemical and temperature proxies measured on core MD96-2098, recovered at 2910 m water depth in the bathypelagic zone at 26°S off Namibia, variations of filament front location,... |
