New research on the development of high-resolution palaeoenvironmental proxies from geochemical properties of biogenic carbonates

This special issue brings together the latest research on palaeoenvironmental proxy development and validation in biogenic carbonates. It includes studies on marine, freshwater and estuarine organisms (molluscs, corals and echinoderms), and on traditional as well as novel geochemical proxies. The papers presented here include in situ field calibration studies, laboratory growth experiments as well as methodological studies into the effects of sampling and pre-treatment. The geographical scope is broad, encompassing both the northern and southern hemispheres including South Africa, South America, Australia, Asia, the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic.
