Periodic and marked redox changes in eastern Mediterranean marine sediments drive environmental and diagenetic changes to which magnetic minerals are sensitive. Magnetic property changes, therefore, provide useful indications of paleoceanographic conditions during and after periods of organic-rich sediment (sapropel) deposition. Magnetic properties of eastern Mediterranean sediments at room temperature have been studied for decades; however, few studies have considered low-temperature magnetic properties. Here, we investigate the low-tempera (...)
