A comparison of satellite measured sea surface temperatures for Guaymas Basin and temperatures estimated from the oxygen isotopic composition of two species of planktonic foraminifera, Globigerina bulloides and Globigerinoides ruber collected in sediment traps. The good agreement between the observed and estimated temperatures indicates that the oxygen isotopic composition of shells of these species of foraminifera preserved in the sediments can be used to estimate past sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of California.[back]
