Natural sampling and aliasing of marine geochemical signals by Andrew Curtis, Hugo Bloem, Rachel Wood, Fred Bowyer, Graham A. Shields, Ying Zhou, Mariana Yilales, Daniel Tetzlaff

“…To overcome these issues, we propose that spatially separated aliased records may still be correctly correlated in age, and true geochemical cycles inferred, if a paired-sampling strategy informed by local stratigraphy is adopted. In this, two (or more) closely-spaced samples are analysed at each sampling point instead of only one, after which aliased cycles are inferred from geochemical gradients.…”
