Silicate Paleothermometers: Oxygen Variation in Sedimentary Environments - Chapter 8 Lecture

Explore the use of silicate paleothermometers as oxygen variation indicators in sediments. This insightful lecture delves into the mechanisms and applications of paleothermometry, focusing on silicate minerals like kaolinite. Referencing Hoefs, 2004, the lecture covers the paleoclimate data from regions such as Niger, Morocco, Algeria, and Chad. Discover how these minerals reflect temperature variations of 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, and 25°C, providing valuable insights into past climates.
