It is well established that greenhouse conditions prevailed during the Cretaceous Period (~
145–66 Ma). Determining the exact nature of the greenhouse-gas forcing, climatic warming …

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 …

A compilation of foraminiferal stable isotope measurements from southern high latitude
(SHL) deep-sea sites provides a novel perspective important for understanding Earth's …

Abstract The Late Cretaceous 'greenhouse'world witnessed a transition from one of the
warmest climates of the past 140 million years to cooler conditions, yet still without …

Abstract The Coniacian-Santonian (CS) was a time of differentiation in marine
sedimentation, characterized by organic carbon (OC)-rich black shales and carbonates …

Understanding the behavior of the global climate system during extremely warm periods is
one of the major themes of paleoclimatology. Proxy data demonstrate that the equator-to …

The Cretaceous opening of the Equatorial Atlantic gateway (EAG) is considered a driver of
major changes in global oceanography, carbon cycling, and climate. However, the early …

Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) are large-scale events of oxygen depletion in the deep ocean
that happened during pre-Cenozoic periods of extreme warmth. Here, to assess the role of …

We present early Cretaceous to present paleobathymetric reconstructions and quantitative
uncertainty estimates for the South Atlantic, offering a strong basis for studies of …

Understanding of the role of ocean circulation on climate during the Late Cretaceous is
contingent on the ability to reconstruct its modes and evolution. Geochemical proxies used …
