Calibration of δ<sup>18</sup>O of cultured benthic foraminiferal calcite as a function of temperature
The geochemical composition of deep-sea benthic foraminiferal calcite is widely used to reconstruct sea floor paleoenvironments. The calibration of the applied proxy methods has until now been based on field observations in complex natural ecosystems where multiple factors are interfering. However,...
