Abstract

This study investigated the distribution of living (Rose Bengal stained) benthic foraminifera of the northwestern continental margin of South America with focus on the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) inhabiting species. Further, a new proxy for bottom water oxygen concentrations based on benthic foraminifera has been developed. On sediment core SO147-106KL from the Peruvian OMZ which comprises the last 20 kys the new proxy was applied to reconstruct the variability of bottom water oxygen concentrations during the past 19.6 kys.
