Lower export production during glacial periods in the equatorial 
Pacific derived from (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 measurements in deep-sea 
sediments.

  <Summary>
    <Abstract>The (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 records obtained from two cores from the 
western (MD97-2138; 1°25&apos;S, 146°24&apos;E, 1900 m) and eastern (Ocean 
Drilling Program Leg 138 Site 849, 0°11.59&apos;N, 110°31.18&apos;W, 3851 m) 
equatorial Pacific display similar variability over the last 85,000 
years, i.e., from isotopic stages 1 to 5a, with systematically 
higher values during the Holocene, isotopic stage 3, and isotopic 
stage 5a, and lower values, approaching the production rate ratio 
of the two isotopes (0.093), during the colder periods corresponding 
to isotopic stages 2 and 4. We have also measured the 230Th-normalized 
biogenic preserved and terrigenous fluxes, as well as major and trace 
elements concentrations, in both cores. The (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 results 
combined with the changes in preserved carbonate and opal fluxes 
at the eastern site indicate lower productivity in the eastern 
equatorial Pacific during glacial periods. The (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 
variations in the western equatorial Pacific also seem to be 
controlled by productivity (carbonate and/or opal). The generally 
high (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 ratios (&gt;0.093) of the profile could be due 
to opal and/or MnO2 in the sinking particles. The profiles of 
(231Pa/230Th)xs,0 and 230Th-normalized fluxes indicate a decrease 
in exported carbonate, and possibly opal, during isotopic stages 2 
and 4 in MD97-2138. Using 230Th-normalized flux, we also show that 
sediments from the two cores were strongly affected by sediment 
redistribution by bottom currents suggesting a control of mass 
accumulation rates by sediment focusing variability. 
 
          STUDY NOTES: 230Th, 231Pa, 232Th, 238U activities, (231Pa/230Th)xs,0 ratio, 
opal, carbonate, MnO2 and major elements concentrations for ODP849. 
Radionuclide concentrations were obtained by isotope dilution 
SF-ICP-MS. Major elements concentrations were measured by ICP-AES. 
Opal, carbonate and MnO2 were determined by normative calculations. 
Age model is based on oxygen isotope stratigraphy on Cibicides 
wuellerstorfi (Mix et al., 1995).
