Concern about the effects of global change on our planet's future has driven much research
into the last few thousand years of earth history. In contrast, this volume takes a much longer …

We studied two sections that accumulated during the Paleocene–Eocene transition in shelf
waters in the northeastern Tethys. Stable carbon isotopic compositions of marine and …

Ever since its discovery, Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2;~ 53.7 Ma) has been
considered as one of the “little brothers” of the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum …

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages, in contrast to planktic foraminifera, generally did not
suffer mass extinctions at the Cretaceous/Palaeogene (K/P) boundary; extinctions were …

Long-term climatic trends of the Paleogene were interrupted by global perturbations of the
carbon cycle, commonly associated with warming of surface and bottom waters and …

The input of massive amounts of carbon to the atmosphere and ocean at the Paleocene–
Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM;∼ 55.53 Ma) resulted in pervasive carbonate dissolution …

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ca. 55.8 Ma) is thought to coincide with a
profound but entirely transient change among nannoplankton communities throughout the …

We combine stable isotope, calcareous nannoplankton, and benthic foraminiferal records for
Ocean Drilling Program Sites 1262 (paleodepth~ 3,500 m) and 1263 (paleodepth~ 1,500 m) …

The deep‐sea sedimentary record of Ocean Drilling Program Site 690 (Weddell Sea) has
figured prominently in the study of an ancient (~ 56 Ma) global warming event referred to as …

In this article we present new illustrations together with updated taxonomic, biostratigraphic
and paleoecological coverage for 36 deep-water benthic foraminiferal species, including ten …
