Middle to late Miocene development of the equatorial Pacific high-productivity belt : a high time-resolution analysis of changes in diatom absolute abundances and sedimentation /

In the equatorial Pacific, the upwelling of nutrient-rich water causes high plankton productivity along an east-west belt overlying the equator. This region of high surface water productivity is reflected by an underlying lens of pelagic sediment accumulation, present since at least the Eocene. The...
