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 …

A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into
the dynamical limits of Earth's climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and …

Climate change is a critical factor affecting biodiversity. However, the quantitative
relationship between temperature change and extinction is unclear. Here, we analyze …

The potential for carbonate clumped isotope thermometry to independently constrain both
the formation temperature of carbonate minerals and fluid oxygen isotope composition …

The temporal link between large igneous province (LIP) eruptions and at least half of the
major extinctions of the Phanerozoic implies that large scale volcanism is the main driver of …

New palaeogeographical reconstructions for the earlier Ordovician (480 Ma), and later
Ordovician (450 Ma) integrate revised longitude-calibrated palaeomagnetic reconstructions …

The oxygen isotope compositions of carbonate and phosphatic fossils hold the key to
understanding Earth-system evolution during the last 500 million years. Unfortunately, the …

About a decade after its introduction, the field of carbonate clumped isotope thermometry is
rapidly expanding because of the large number of possible applications and its potential to …

The theoretical framework of Unconventional Petroleum Geology has been gradually
established along with the rapid progresses in exploration and development of …
