Summary

Description
English: Sediment core, taken with a gravity corer by the research vessel POLARSTERN in the South Atlantic; light/dark-coloured changes are due to climate cycles of the Quaternary; basis age of the core is about 1 Million years (length of each segment is 1 m). For a more detailed description and detail photographs of the core see Gersonde (2003).[1]
