When Milankovitch cycles are preserved in the geologic record they provide a direct link
between chronometer and climate change, and thus a remarkable opportunity to constrain …

The climate during the Cenozoic era changed in several steps from ice‐free poles and warm
conditions to ice‐covered poles and cold conditions. Since the 1950s, a body of information …

This paper addresses two fundamental issues in cyclostratigraphy and paleoclimatology:
identification of astronomical forcing in sequences of stratigraphic cycles, and accurate …

We present here a new solution for the astronomical computation of the orbital motion of the
Earth spanning from 0 to− 250 Myr. The main improvement with respect to our previous …

Astronomical calculations reveal the Solar System's dynamical evolution, including its
chaoticity, and represent the backbone of cyclostratigraphy and astrochronology. An …

Studying the dynamics of past global warming events during the late Paleocene to middle
Eocene informs our understanding of Earth's carbon cycle behavior under elevated …

Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …

XRF core scanners, with their rapid and non-destructive analytical capability, have now
been used for two decades in the analysis of marine sediments. Initially they were used to …

Abstract The Late Cretaceous–Early Paleogene is the most recent period in Earth history
that experienced sustained global greenhouse warmth on multimillion year timescales. Yet …

Relative brain sizes in birds can rival those of primates, but large-scale patterns and drivers
of avian brain evolution remain elusive. Here, we explore the evolution of the fundamental …
