Brief description

This short core obtained off Sumatra (BAR9403, 5.82 S, 104.0316 E) records the palaeoceanography from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) to the present day. The lightest 18O value (-2.99ppt) is recorded during the Holocene (~5cm depth) while the LGM (~125cm depth) is positioned at the heaviest 18O value of -0.59ppt. Once the estimated ice volume effect has been accounted for, this still leaves a substantial difference in 18O which must be accounted for through significant changes in sea-surface temperature (SST) or salinity. The 13C record ranges from a minimum at approximately 8500 yrs BP of 0.16ppt to a maximum value of 1.31ppt during MIS 3.

Statement: Samples were collected using a piston core. Each sample was wet sieved through 63µm mesh. ~15 Gs. ruber were then picked from the bulk sample, approx. 250µm in size before being cleaned. Calculations of 13C and 18O at various depths were made by the Finnigan MAT 251 Mass Spectrometer at the Research School of Earth Sciences, ANU.
Statement: Mass spectrometer was run concurrently with international standards NBS-19 and NBS-18, and has an analytical error of ±0.08 d18O per mil. and ±0.05 13C per mil. None of the results have been amended to account for the ice volume effect on the foraminifera during the LGM. This dataset presents 18O values every 5cm of the core from the sediment surface down to 275cm. Values for 13C are almost as complete, with data missing at 200cm, 260cm, 265cm and 275cm down into the core. Parameters: Core depth (cm), oxygen-18 Gs.ruber (parts per thousand), carbon-13 Gs.ruber (parts per thousand).
