Abstract
Sapropels deposited in the Mediterranean Sea provide high resolution records of past oceanographic changes. Previous studies have found abrupt transitions in chemical composition of these sediments. We present a transient box model that provides a potential mechanism for these transitions. The high-frequency variability is a result of fluxes stopping or ... read more
