Neritic isotope and sedimentary records of the Eocene–Oligocene greenhouse–icehouse transition: The Calcare di Nago Formation (northern Italy) in a global context

Jaramillo-Vogel, David ; Strasser, André ; Frijia, Gianluca ; Spezzaferri, Silvia

In: Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2012, p. -

From the Middle Eocene to Early Oligocene, the Earth experienced the most significant climatic cooling of the Cenozoic era. The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) represents the culmination of this climatic cooling, leading to the onset of the Antarctic glaciation and, consequently, to the beginning of the present-day icehouse world. Whereas the response of deep-sea systems to this climate...

New insights on coral mound development from groundtruthed high-resolution ROV-mounted multibeam imaging

Lim, Aaron ; Huvenne, Veerle A.I. ; Vertino, Agostina ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Wheeler, Andrew J.

In: Marine Geology, 2018, vol. 403, p. 225–237

Currents play a vital role in sustaining and developing deep water benthic habitats by mobilising food and nutrients to otherwise relatively barren parts of the seabed. Where sediment supply is significant, it can have a major influence on the development and morphology of these habitats. This study examines a segment of the Belgica Mound Province, NE Atlantic to better constrain the...

Origin and age of carbonate clasts from the Lusi eruption, Java, Indonesia

Samankassou, Elias ; Mazzini, Adriano ; Chiaradia, Massimo ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Moscariello, Andrea ; Couto, Damien Do

In: Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2018, vol. 90, p. 138–148

Deep stratigraphic constrains below the Indonesian Lusi mud eruption are currently lacking due to the absence of deep wells and good quality seismic data. A collection of carbonate clasts has been sampled from the Lusi site, active since its birth in 2006. These specimens are part of a large variety of lithotypes erupted from the main crater. The carbonates analysed comprise scleractinian...

Palynological study of carbonated mounds during the holocene along the atlantic and mediterranean moroccan margins

Rachid, Jihad ; Hssaida, Touria ; Hamoumi, Naima ; Terhzaz, Loubna ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Frank, Norbert ; Daghor, Lamia

In: Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2020, vol. 278, p. 104213

A palynological study of carbonate mounds of Atlantic and Mediterranean Moroccan margins was conducted on sediment boxcores MD13-3441, MD13-3456, MD13-3461, MD13-3465, MD13-3468 collected during the oceanographic cruise MD 194/Eurofleet - GATEWAY, which took place on June 2013.The organic remaining revealed a dominance of dinoflagellate cysts over the continental fraction, which showed very...

Photic stress on coral reefs in the Maldives: The Amphistegina bleaching index

Stainbank, Stephanie ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Beccari, Valentina ; Hallock, Pamela ; Adams, Arthur ; Angeloz, Aurelie ; Basso, Daniela ; Caragnano, Annalisa ; Piero, Nicolo Del ; Dietsche, Patrick ; Eymard, Ines ; Farley, Nicholas ; Fau, Marine ; Foubert, Anneleen ; Lauper, Bruno ; Lehmann, Anael ; Maillet, Marine ; Negga, Haileyesus ; Ordonez, Luis ; Peyrotty, Giovan ; Rime, Valentin ; Rüggeberg, Andres ; Schoellhorn, Iris ; Vimpere, Lucas

In: Ecological Indicators, 2020, vol. 113, p. 106257

The Amphistegina Bleaching Index (ABI) was applied to three Maldivian reefs in the Rasdhoo and North Ari Atolls in 2018, during normal sea surface temperature conditions. This dataset was then compared with a 2015, pre-coral bleaching study. The results provide a context for the verification and application of the ABI in outlining the photo-inhibitory stress status of coral reefs outside of...

The Planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides eoconglobatus n. sp. in a glacial–interglacial context: IODP359 Sites U1467 and U1468

Stainbank, Stephanie ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Kroon, Dick ; Leau, Erica S. de ; Rüggeberg, Andres

In: Swiss Journal of Geosciences, 2018, vol. 111, no. 3, p. 511–522

Here we define a new morphospecies of planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides eoconglobatus n. sp., identified from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) expedition 359 samples from drift deposits of the Maldives, Inner Sea. Through biostratigraphic analysis, we infer it may be the direct ancestor of Globigerinoides conglobatus evolving from Globigerinoides obliquus in the Late Miocene...

Preliminary video-spatial analysis of cold seep bivalve beds at the base of the continental slope of Israel (Palmahim Disturbance)

Beccari, V. ; Basso, D. ; Spezzaferri, Silvia ; Rüggeberg, A. ; Neuman, A. ; Makovsky, Y.

In: Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2020, vol. 171, p. 104664

Seafloor video surveys were carried out with the ROV Max Rover in the Palmahim Disturbance (PD) area, offshore Israel, in September 2016 during the EUROFLEETS2 SEMSEEP cruise on board the R/V AEGAEO. Preliminary observations of distribution and frequencies of bivalve accumulations show that they are mostly composed by Lucinoma kazani shells. Valves are distributed mainly along the base of...
