Since 65 million years ago (Ma), Earth's climate has undergone a significant and complex
evolution, the finer details of which are now coming to light through investigations of deep …

Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), primarily from human fossil fuel combustion,
reduces ocean pH and causes wholesale shifts in seawater carbonate chemistry. The …

Views differ on the uplift history of the SE Tibetan Plateau and causal geodynamic
mechanisms, yet reliable age-constrained paleoaltimetry in this region could test growth …

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 …

Isotopic records across the “Latest Paleocene Thermal Maximum “(LPTM) indicate that
bottom water temperature increased by more than 4° C during a brief time interval (< 104 …

Abstract Knowledge of the evolution of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations
throughout the Earth's history is important for a reconstruction of the links between climate …

Vegetation in many semiarid regions is strikingly patterned, forming regular stripes on
hillsides and irregular mosaics on flat ground. A simple model of plant and water dynamics …

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 …

A deep-sea temperature record for the past 50 million years has been produced from the
magnesium/calcium ratio (Mg/Ca) in benthic foraminiferal calcite. The record is strikingly …

Carbonate and organic matter deposited during the latest Paleocene thermal maximum is
characterized by a remarkable− 2.5‰ excursion in δ13C that occurred over∼ 104 yr and …
