The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary
conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …

The current rapid increase in atmospheric CO2, linked to the massive use of fossil fuels, will
have major consequences for our climate and for living organisms. To understand what is …

Mammals have dominated Earth for approximately 55 Myr thanks to their adaptations and
resilience to warming and cooling during the Cenozoic. All life will eventually perish in a …

The long-term diversification of the biosphere responds to changes in the physical
environment. Yet, over the continents, the nearly monotonic expansion of life started later in …

The Earth's interior and surficial systems underwent dramatic changes during the
Paleoproterozoic, but the interaction between them remains poorly understood. Rocks …

This paper aims to update our understanding of the carbon cycle in the Himalayas, the most
intense collisional orogeny globally, by providing new insight into its impact on Cenozoic …

Much of our understanding of Cenozoic climate is based on the record of δ18O measured in
benthic foraminifera. However, this measurement reflects a combined signal of global …

摘要对地球未来环境变化的准确预测应该建立在正确认识地球环境演变规律的基础之上,
而地球固体圈层与表层圈层的耦合过程研究是获取上述规律认识的重要环节 …

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 …

Earth's persistent habitability since the Archean remains poorly understood. Using an
oxygen isotope ensemble approach—comprising shale, iron oxide, carbonate, silica, and …
