Paleogeography is the study of the changing surface of Earth through time. Driven by plate
tectonics, the configuration of the continents and ocean basins has been in constant flux …

This study provides a comprehensive and quantitative estimate of how global temperatures
have changed during the last 540 million years. It combines paleotemperature …

Calcareous nannofossils have provided a powerful biostratigraphic tool since the 1950's
and 1960's, when several milestone papers began to highlight their potential use in dating …

A complex interplay of palaeoclimatic, eustatic and tectonic processes led to fragmentation
and dissipation of the vast Tethys Ocean in Eocene–Oligocene times. The resulting …

This Special Report comprehensively describes the stratigraphy and correlation of the
Tertiary (Paleogene–Neogene) rocks of NW Europe and the adjacent Atlantic Ocean and is …

At the end of the Eocene, the demise of the Tethys Ocean led to the formation of one of the
largest anoxic seas in the last 50 million years of Earth history. This long-lived anoxic water …

Interbedded contourites, turbidites and pelagites are commonplace in many deep‐water
slope environments. However, the distinction between these different facies remains a …

Pelagic carbonates are deposited far from continents, usually at water depths of 3000–6000
m, at rates below 10 cm/kyr, and are a globally important sediment type. Recent advances …

Earth's future environment depends critically on how the marine ecosystems react to the
current greenhouse conditions. Past warming events from the Middle Eocene can shed light …

Lanternfishes currently represent one of the dominant groups of mesopelagic fishes in terms
of abundance, biomass, and diversity. Their otolith record dominates pelagic sediments …
