Abstract

This study focuses on Pleistocene-Holocene sediments from the Shatsky Rise (Ocean Drilling Program Site 1209B, NW Pacific Ocean). We quantify the contribution of calcite made by coccoliths in oceanic sediments, investigating the role of calcareous nannoplankton during the last 450 ka. Coccolith carbonate constitutes 60-90% of bulk carbonate. Coccolith carbonate accumulation rates (CARs) and CaCO
