Abstract

The focus of this study is to explore the long term Plio-Pleistocene variability of coastal and open ocean upwelling systems by reconstructing for the last ~3.5 Ma, sea surface temperature (SST), primary productivity and nutrient cycling in the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS) and the Eastern Equatorial Pacific (EEP), two areas particularly sensible and influential to climate change.
