Introduction: Paleoceanography, tracers, proxies and methods (C. Hillaire-Marcel, A. de Vernal).
Part 1 : Deep Sea Sediment Properties.
1. Deep-sea sediment de posits and properties controlled by currents (I.N. McCave).
2. Conti nuous physical properties of cored marine sediments (G. St.Onge et al).
3. Magnetic stratigraphy in paleoceanography: reversals, excursions , paleointensity and secular variation (J. Stoner, G. St. Onge).
4. Clay minerals, deep circulation and climate (N. Fagel).
5. Radiocar bon dating of deep-sea sediments (K.A. Hughen).
Part 2: Bio logical tracers and biomarkers.
6. Planktonic foraminifera a s tracers of past oceanic environments (M. Kucera).
7. Paleoceanogra phical proxies based on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage charac teristics (F. Jorissen, C. Fontanier, R. Thomas).
8. Diatoms: From M icropaleontology to Isotope Geochemistry (X. Crosta, N. Ko ).
9. Org anic-walled Dinoflagellate Cysts: Tracers of sea-surface conditions (A. de Vernal, F. Marret).
10. Coccolithophores: From extant population
