How is ventilation at various depth layers of the Atlantic connected and what role do changes in ocean circulation play?

Joan Bernhard, a senior scientist in WHOI's Geology & Geophysics Department and foraminifera expert, has been studying this population of benthic foraminifera for decades to learn how these ...

Benthic foraminifera are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and excellent preservation potential in sediment.

The Museum has a strong tradition of foraminifera research dating back to the late 1800s. As a result, the foraminifera collection - with approximately 250,000 slides - is the most extensive of our ...

A new study sheds light on how a species of foraminifera, single-celled organisms found in almost all marine habitats, thrives in a dark, oxygen-free environment.

Large benthic foraminifera form a crucial part of marine communities from warm to tropical waters, especially in coral reefs.

Larger benthic foraminifera (LBF) Larger benthic foraminifera are classified as microfossils because they were produced by a single celled organism, but they can reach a size of several centimetres.

High-resolution benthic foraminiferal study was carried out on the surficial bottom sediments of the Al-Kharrar Lagoon (KL), north of Rabigh City, eastern Red Sea coast, Saudi Arabia. One hundred ...
