Archea

subclass of: Organic proxy sensor

Bivalves
type: Class
subclass of: Mollusk

Chironomids

Coccolithophores

Foraminifera
type: Class
subclass of: Organic proxy sensor
comment: Because of their population size, foraminifera produce a significant amount of oceanic carbonate, making them a valuable source of paleoceanographic information. The following parameters are used in paleoceanographic applications: * Faunal Assemblage * Geochemical measurements: * Isotopes * Stable oxygen isotopes * Stable carbon isotopes * Radiocarbon * Trace Elements

Proxy sensor
type: Class
comment: The sensor comprises physical, chemical, and/or biological components that react to environmental conditions. Sensors often respond to more than one environmental variable, and may have complex responses to the environment they sense, including thresholds (record only part of the range of environmental conditions), seasonal biases (record environmental conditions over a few months of the year), and/or nonlinear responses (Evans et al. (2013))
