Mountains, erosion and the carbon cycle
Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the
atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control …

Intensified continental chemical weathering and carbon-cycle perturbations linked to volcanism during the Triassic–Jurassic transition
Direct evidence of intense chemical weathering induced by volcanism is rare in sedimentary
successions. Here, we undertake a multiproxy analysis (including organic carbon isotopes …

Large igneous province record through time and implications for secular environmental changes and geological time‐scale boundaries
An emerging consensus suggests that large igneous provinces (LIPs) are a significant driver
of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including several Phanerozoic …

A 485-million-year history of Earth's surface temperature
A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into
the dynamical limits of Earth's climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and …
