Full description

A gravity core (GC13) was collected from a depth of 1482 mbsl within the Capricorn Channel, southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Isotopic values for 18-O and 13-C were obtained from Globigerinoides ruber and correlated with the SPECMAP age-model. The age-model that was produced plausibly extends back to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6, with approximate sedimentation rates calculated according to this model. Sedimentation rates fluctuate from 5cm/kyr during the last transition and interglacial, to 1cm/kyr during the glacial maximum.

Statement: Age-model constructed by correlating 18-O data with the SPECMAP model of Martinson et al.(1987). Samples were dried in the oven before being re-soaked in distilled water. Samples then wet sieved through a series of four mesh sizes before the size fractions were transferred to drying trays. After drying foraminifera were picked from the large size fractions of >300 µm and >400µm. 10-15 white Gs. ruber were hand picked to give a total sample weight of 180-220µg for isotope analysis.

Statement: Age estimates are provided for 5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm and then every 10cm down the core to a depth of 350cm. These estimates were made by correlating 18-O values with the SPECMAP age-model. Values of 18-O have a very small analytical error.

Purpose
To determine the sedimentological variations with sea-level over the last glacial/ interglacial cycle in the Capricorn Channel. Very little previous work has been undertaken within this area.
