Retrograde clay mineral reactions (reverse weathering), including glauconite formation, are
first-order controls on element sequestration in marine sediments. Here, we report …

The termination of the Cryogenian period marks a transition from an extreme ice-to a
greenhouse climate, likely initiated by increased atmospheric CO 2, however uncertainties …

Abstracts Cap carbonate is the most unique component of a Snowball Earth glaciation, ie,
two Cryogenian global glaciations. In the canonical model, cap carbonate precipitation …

Reverse weathering plays a significant role in the cycle of atmospheric carbon dioxide
(CO2) and elements between oceanic and continental environments during the Earth's …

In the aftermath of Marinoan global glaciation (∼ 650–635 Ma), the deglacial intense
continental weathering tended to dramatically lower the atmospheric pCO 2 level, potentially …

Elevated temperatures persisted for an anomalously protracted interval following pulsed
volcanic carbon release associated with the end-Permian mass extinction, deviating from …

Rock metamorphism releases substantial CO2 over geologic timescales (> 1 My), potentially
driving long-term planetary climate trends. The nature of carbonate sediments and crustal …

The northeastern Sichuan area in the northern Yangtze margin has unique Ediacaran
geological records, especially the Doushantuo Formation (DST), and become a hot research …

Oxygenation events remarkably altered the distribution, diversity, and abundance of
minerals on Earth's surface. However, the causality in the opposite direction—the influence …

Two cap carbonates overlying Cryogenian panglacial deposits are found in North‐East
Svalbard of which the younger (635 Ma) forms the base of the Ediacaran Period. It is …
