Since 65 million years ago (Ma), Earth's climate has undergone a significant and complex
evolution, the finer details of which are now coming to light through investigations of deep …

The stable isotope compositions of biogenic materials record a combination of
environmental parameters and biological processes. In general, the environment provides a …

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM;~ 55.9 Ma) was a geologically rapid
warming period associated with carbon release, which caused a marked increase in the …

Abstract Knowledge of the evolution of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations
throughout the Earth's history is important for a reconstruction of the links between climate …

Vegetation in many semiarid regions is strikingly patterned, forming regular stripes on
hillsides and irregular mosaics on flat ground. A simple model of plant and water dynamics …

Despite recent advances, the link between the evolution of atmospheric CO2 and climate
during the Eocene greenhouse remains uncertain. In particular, modelling studies suggest …

Climate models with increased levels of carbon dioxide predict that global warming causes
heating in the tropics, but investigations of ancient climates based on palaeodata have …

Constraining the greenhouse gas forcing, climatic warming and estimates of climate
sensitivity across ancient large transient warming events is a major challenge to the …

Changing components, rock textures, lithofacies, platform types and architecture throughout
time are unique characteristics of carbonate rocks. Characterizing these attributes has been …

Marine barite (BaSO4) is produced in the water column in association with decaying organic
matter; its distribution in the water column and in core-top sediments closely corresponds …
