Astronomical forcing of Earth's climate is embedded in the rhythms of stratigraphic records,
most famously as short-period (104–105 year) Milankovitch cycles. Astronomical grand …

Increasingly, environmental scientists, palaeoceanographers and geologists are collecting
quantitative records of environmental changes (time series) from sediments, ice cores, cave …

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
researchers from various fields have been curious about the sea. For instance, geologists …

The mechanisms responsible for latitudinal biodiversity gradients have fascinated and

ABSTRACT For 30 years the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and the Ocean Drilling
Program (ODP) have been drilling the ocean floors and retrieving sediment cores. This study …

We document the waxing and waning of a “proto-warm pool” in the western equatorial
Pacific (WEP) based on a study of multi-species planktic foraminiferal isotope ratios and …

The 853 m thick sediment sequence recovered at ODP Site 1148 provides an
unprecedented record of tectonic and paleoceanographic evolution in the South China Sea …

Radiolarian cherts in the Tethyan realm of Jurassic age were recently interpreted as
resulting from high biosiliceous productivity along upwelling zones in subequatorial …

The deep-sea stratigraphic record is full of gaps. These hiatuses track changes in ocean
circulation and chemistry, but determining their timing and causes has been limited by …
