Rapid global warming of 5° to 10° C during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
(PETM) coincided with major turnover in vertebrate faunas, but previous studies have found …

At the boundary between the Palaeocene and Eocene epochs, about 55 million years ago,
the Earth experienced a strong global warming event, the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal …

The oceans are becoming more acidic due to absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere. The impact of ocean acidification on marine ecosystems is unclear, but …

The carbonate saturation profile of the oceans shoaled markedly during a transient global
warming event known as the Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM)(circa 55 Ma) …

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms play a critical role in the Bayesian approach
to phylogenetic inference. We present a theoretical analysis of the rate of convergence of …

Abstract The Global Stratotype Section and Point for the Palaeocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary
was defined at Dababiya Quarry (Egypt) at the base of the carbon isotope excursion (CIE) …

By trapping infrared radiation, atmospheric CO2 contributes significantly to the greenhouse
warming of the planetary surface. Hence, it is thought to have played a key role in the …

Continued emissions of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will affect climate and ocean
chemistry. These consequences can be anticipated by consideration of basic physical …

Italy preserves a superb Mesozoic-Paleogene pelagic record of the Tethys Ocean that has
been best documented in the Apennines, central Italy (Marche and Umbria regions), where …

Approximately 55 million years ago (Mya) at the boundary between the Paleocene and
Eocene epochs (PE boundary), the Earth experienced an extreme global warming event that …
