Short summary
The deep ocean is an important part of the global climate system. Accurate estimates of temperature changes at depth are crucial to understand the role of the intermediate to deep ocean in climate change. We have used samples from the Indian Ocean to establish Mg/Ca-based temperature calibrations based on benthic foraminifera. Our data suggest that generating optimal Mg/Ca ratios in benthic foraminifera may require species- and region-specific cleaning procedures.
