Preservation of planktic foraminiferal calcite has received widespread attention in recent
years, but the taphonomy of benthic foraminiferal calcite and its influence on the deep‐sea …

Differences in regional responses to climate fluctuations are well documented on short time
scales (eg, El Niño–Southern Oscillation), but with the exception of latitudinal temperature …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) is an~ 500 kyr interval of
pronounced global warming from which the climate system recovered in< 50 kyr. The deep …

Abstract The Mg/Ca of planktic foraminifera is widely used to determine past surface ocean
temperatures but temperature is not the only factor that controls test Mg/Ca. Here we quantify …

Carbon isotopic records from benthic foraminifera are used to map patterns of deep ocean
circulation between 3 and 2 million years ago, the interval when significant northern …

One of the largest and most abrupt climatic warming events documented in the geologic
record occurred at the end of the Paleocene epoch. Oceanic deep waters warmed to 10° C …

The late Paleocene to early Eocene warming trend was punctuated by a series of orbitally
paced transient warming events, associated with the release of isotopically light carbon into …

The early to mid-Holocene thermal optimum is a well-known feature in a wide variety of
paleoclimate archives from the Northern Hemisphere. Reconstructed summer temperature …

The spatial and temporal distributions of organisms reflect the gradients and dynamics of
that system we call climate. To describe such relationships for the Paleocene, quantitative …

Sea surface temperature (SST) is used to infer past changes in the state of the climate
system. Here we use a combination of newly generated and published organic …
