The earth alternates in a supercycle 400 my long from a single continent (Pangea) and
ocean (Panthalassa) with an icehouse climate to many continents and oceans with a …

During its life span from mid-Carboniferous (320 Ma) merger to mid-Jurassic (160 Ma) initial
breakup, Pangea comprised two contrasting sedimentary provinces:(1) an emergent …

Abstract The Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) was the penultimate major glaciation of the
Phanerozoic. Published compilations indicate it occurred in two main phases, one centered …

Continental freeboard and eustasy, as gauged by the relative position of the world shelf
break with respect to sea level, have varied by±250 m from today's ice-free shelf break depth …

Several major episodes of Tertiary explosive volcanism coincided with sharply lowered
temperature as inferred from oxygen-isotope composition of foraminiferal tests in deep-sea …

The breakup of the former Pangea supercontinent culminated in the modern drifting
continents. Increased rifting caused the establishment of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle …

The supercontinent Pangaea dominated all aspects of Earth history for nearly 150 million
years. The events in both western and eastern Pangaea document complex Wilson cycles …

Secular changes in surficial processes and products are closely linked to plate tectonics,
atmospheric composition, solar evolution and climate. Most siliciclastic sediments and rocks …

Astronomical insolation forcing is well established as the underlying metronome of
Quaternary ice ages and Cenozoic climate changes. Yet its effects on earlier eras …

The Permian was marked by transition from the glacioera to the thermoera, the last one in
the geo-logical history. This global climatic reorganization followed the significant …
