MD9821-60 (1998) was collected was collected at 5 12.07 S, 117 29.20 E from a water depth of 1185 m. well above the present-day lysocline on. Although the uppermost sediments representing roughly the last 150 years were lost during the coring process, the average Holocene sedimentation rate at this location is well over 100 cm per 1,000 years. The core was sampled continuously at 1 cm intervals, providing a time resolution of less than 10 years.

    Firstly, may I thank you for all your considerable efforts in the cause of scientific truth. i can’t properly express my gratitude to you as it is so enormous!

    And if you could please help me find information about the latest “scare” brought up by the AGW bunch, namely the ‘acidification of the oceans’, I would be most grateful.

    The link to the Pacific Peru sediment at uni-mainz.de is broken and they do not seem to have any obvious way to get the data now.

    Was this part of their “ELSA” project?
    Does anyone know of where to get that sediment data file?

    steve: I saved the data and will email it if you contact me. BUt you should contact the authors and ask them to restore the information.

    Why are sedimentation rates of interest?
