Abstract The Mead Stream section (South Island, New Zealand) consists of a 650-m-thick
series of continuous, well-exposed strata deposited on a South Pacific continental slope …

Studies of early Paleogene climate suffer from the scarcity of well-dated sedimentary records
from the southern Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean basin during this time. We present a new …

The Pacific plate circuit went through a complex reorganization during the early to middle
Eocene, approximately coinciding with the onset of subduction along the western Pacific …

Successions of uplifted shallow marine sediments in New Zealand were among the first to
provide evidence of latest Miocene climatic deterioration and were also among the first …

The paleomagnetic stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, and paleoclimatology have been studied in
two marine sections of late Miocene to early Pliocene age in New Zealand. A total of over …

A series of discontinuous sediment sequences, of Plio/Pleistocene age, occur onshore
around the southern North Sea margins, notably in the East Anglian region of Britain …

Magnetic properties of pelagic marine sediments that record the Middle Eocene Climatic
Optimum (MECO) at~ 40 Ma provide information about major environmental changes. The …

Thick sequences of relatively undisturbed Plio-Pleistocene sediments in the Wanganui
Basin, North Island, New Zealand consist of well exposed silts, clayey silts, sandstones, rare …

Abstract Piston core S68-24, collected in the central equatorial Pacific, contains a
continuous sedimentary record that ranges from early middle Miocene to latest Oligocene …

Drilling offshore from Cape Roberts, Antarctica, has enabled recovery of a 1472-m
cumulative record of late Eocene–early Miocene history of sedimentary basin development …
