Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

The geological record encodes the relationship between climate and atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) over long and short timescales, as well as potential drivers of evolutionary …

Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary
successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes …

The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP) has long been proposed as having a
causal relationship with the end-Triassic extinction event (∼ 201.5 Ma). In North America …

Amber is fossilised plant resin. It can be used to provide insights into the terrestrial
conditions at the time the original resin was exuded. Amber research thus can inform many …

The end-Triassic mass extinction overlapped with the eruption of the Central Atlantic
Magmatic Province (CAMP), and release of CO2 and other volcanic volatiles has been …

Plants first colonized the land over 430 million years ago, having evolved from some of the
most primitive forms of life. Since then, plants have played a major role in supplying the …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Earth's last icehouse, 300 million years ago, is considered the longest-lived and most acute
of the past half-billion years, characterized by expansive continental ice sheets, and possibly …
