Interest in pre-Quaternary paleosols has increased over the past decade, in large part,
because they have proved to be beneficial in solving diverse geological problems. The …

The porosity and permeability of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs (known as reservoir
quality) are essential inputs for successful oil and gas resource exploration and exploitation …

Icehouses are the less common climate state on Earth, and thus it is notable that the longest-
lived (c. 370 to 260 Ma) and possibly most extensive and intense of icehouse periods …

Radiogenic isotopes have wide application to chemical stratigraphy, geochronology,
provenance studies, and studies of temporal changes in Earth surface processes. This …

Paleosols are ancient soils that have been incorporated into the geological record. Soils
form in response to interactions among the lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and …

High‐precision ID‐TIMS U‐Pb zircon ages for 12 interstratified tuffs and tonsteins are used
to radiometrically calibrate the detailed lithostratigraphic, cyclostratigraphic, and …

Abstract The late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) was one of Earth's most important Phanerozoic
climatic events lasting for over 100 Mys. Despite its importance, its history is controversial …

The degree to which Permo-Carboniferous cyclothemic successions archive evidence for
long-term variations in ice volume during the Late Paleozoic Ice Age is insufficiently …

Proxies of past CO2 and climate over the past 300 my now reveal multiple global climate
change events in unprecedented detail. Evidence for past CO2 spikes comes from …

Paleoclimatic time series from Permian and Triassic paleosols reveal transient episodes of
unusually warm and wet conditions, interrupting long periods of cool and dry conditions …
