5. Analyses for the Holocene section at 2 mm resolution were obtained with a profiling x-ray fluorescence scanner at the University of Bremen (4). The Ti element mapping at 50 μm resolution was carried out with a Röntgenanalytik Eagle II Micro X-Ray Fluorescence system at ETH Zürich (with the use of an Rh tube at 40 kV and 800 mA). The sediment slab samples from hole 1002D were measured in two parallel and overlapping line scans (sample length, 1S cm). For optimum counting, a measurement time of 24 hours for each sample slab was applied.
