This survey of the current status of research into Earth's orbitally forced paleoclimatic record
summarizes recent developments in the theory of Earth's orbital parameters, and reviews …

Geological evidence indicates that grounded ice sheets reached sea level at all latitudes
during two long-lived Cryogenian (58 and≥ 5 My) glaciations. Combined uranium-lead and …

analysis of how measured sedimentation rate decreases with timescale of measurement
quantified the vanishingly small fractional time preservation—completeness—of the …

Over geologic timescales, CO2 is emitted from the Earth's interior and is removed from the
atmosphere by silicate rock weathering and organic carbon burial. This balance is thought to …

Marine carbonate precipitation occurs in three basic modes: abiotic (or quasi-abiotic),
biotically induced, and biotically controlled. On a geologic scale, these precipitation modes …

Reconstructions of coupled carbon, oxygen, and sulfur cycles rely heavily on sedimentary
pyrite sulfur isotope compositions (δ34Spyr). With a model of sediment diagenesis, paired …

The delta of the Fly River is tide dominated, both morphologically and sedimentologically:
the spring tidal range reaches 5 m, with near-bed tidal currents that commonly exceed 1 m/s …

THIS BOOK UPDATES the information contained in its 1987 progenitor, Cenozoic Mammals
of North America: Geochronology and Biostratigraphy, to further refine the tempo and mode …

Linear rates of sediment aggradation and fluvial incision are inverse functions of
measurement interval, a generic consequence of unsteadiness in the underlying processes …

The sulfur cycle influences the respiration of sedimentary organic matter, the oxidation state
of the atmosphere and oceans, and the composition of seawater. However, the factors …
