A timeframe of glacial and nonglacial intervals in the Carboniferous and Permian systems of
eastern Australia was published by Fielding et al.(2008a). In this scheme, eight discrete …

The glacial-interglacial transitions of ice ages are associated with large, rapid changes in
climate, which potentially can be reconstructed from stratigraphic profiles of the chemical …

Silicate weathering as an important negative feedback can regulate the Earth's climate over
time, but much debate concerns its response strength to each climatic factor and its …

The evolution of oxygen cycles on Earth's surface has been regulated by the balance
between molecular oxygen production and consumption. The Neoproterozoic–Paleozoic …

The first significant buildup in atmospheric oxygen, the Great Oxidation Event (GOE), began
in the early Paleoproterozoic in association with global glaciations and continued until the …

Purpose This review of sediment source fingerprinting assesses the current state-of-the-art,
remaining challenges and emerging themes. It combines inputs from international scientists …

Abstract The Middle Permian Lucaogou Formation in the Santanghu Basin (northwest
China) develops one of the thickest salinized lacustrine organic-rich shale (SLORS) in the …

The release of phosphorous (P) via chemical weathering is a vital process that regulates the
global cycling of numerous key elements and shapes the size of the Earth's biosphere. It has …

INTRODUCTION The primary goal of NASA's Curiosity rover mission is to explore and
quantitatively assess a local region on Mars' surface as a potential habitat for past or present …

Weathering profiles developed on basalt substrate contain information relevant to climate,
atmospheric composition and evolution, nutrient release into the hydrosphere, and …
