The best–documented example of rapid climate change that characterized the so–called
'greenhouse world'took place at the time of the Palaeocene–Eocene boundary: introduction …

The evolution of subtropical (30–35° N) upper ocean temperatures through the Cretaceous
is inferred from the oxygen isotope compositions of 64 fish teeth (enamel) coming from the …

Abstract The middle Cretaceous (125–88 Ma) greenhouse world was characterized by high
atmospheric CO2 levels, the general absence of polar ice caps, and much higher global …

Palaeoclimatic data document a sensitive climate system subject to large and perhaps
difficult–to–predict abrupt changes. These data suggest that neither the sensitivity nor the …

Africa's landscape is dominated by a manifold of second-order epeirogenic structures
superimposed on a first-order bimodal topography. Bivariate regression analysis of Africa's …

The presence of low‐latitude circumglobal passage from the late Jurassic (∼ 160 Ma)
through the Miocene (∼ 14 Ma) provides a possible mechanism for increased poleward …

Millennial-to centennial-scale geochemical records of Coniacian to Santonian deposits from
the Deep Ivorian Basin are used to develop a model for the accumulation of black shales in …

Recent studies of the oceanic record suggest that the Earth was a global greenhouse during
middle Cretaceous time. A review of topographic, sedimentary and biologic data pertaining …

The evolution of the Earth's climate over geological time is now relatively well known.
Conversely, the causes and feedback mechanisms involved in these climatic changes are …

Résumé L'évolution du climat de la Terre à l'échelle des temps géologiques est maintenant
relativement bien connue. En revanche, les causes ainsi que les mécanismes de rétroaction …
