Abstract The global Hangenberg Crisis near the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary (DCB)
represents a mass extinction that is of the same scale as the so-called 'Big Five'first-order …

Mid‐Cretaceous (Barremian‐Turonian) plankton preserved in deep‐sea marl, organic‐rich
shale, and pelagic carbonate hold an important record of how the marine biosphere …

Abstract The Ocean Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2) about 93.5 million years ago was marked by
high atmospheric CO2 concentration, rapid global warming and marine anoxia and euxinia …

Recent studies have purported to show a closer correspondence between reconstructed
Phanerozoic records of cosmic ray flux and temperature than between CO2 and …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …
