Event stratigraphy is used to help characterise the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphic
concept, based on analogous deep-time events, for which we provide a novel …

The Ediacaran–Cambrian (E–C) transition marks the most important geobiological
revolution of the past billion years, including the Earth's first crisis of macroscopic eukaryotic …

book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

This article presents a current (as of September 2019) list of recommended ages for proven
terrestrial impact structures (n= 200) and deposits (n= 46) sourced from the primary …

Because animals require oxygen, an increase in late-Neoproterozoic oxygen concentrations
has been suggested as a stimulus for their evolution. The iron content of deep-sea …

Humans rank with the powerful forces of nature transforming Earth. Since the mid-20th

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 …

Ediacara fossils document an important evolutionary episode just before the Cambrian
explosion and hold critical information about the early evolution of macroscopic and …

The limited availability and low resolution of biostratigraphic and radiometric data in the
Precambrian necessitate using marine chemostratigraphy to correlate and integrate the …
