Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Many palaeoclimate studies have quantified pre-anthropogenic climate change to calculate
climate sensitivity (equilibrium temperature change in response to radiative forcing change) …

Much of our understanding of Earth's past climate comes from the measurement of oxygen
and carbon isotope variations in deep-sea benthic foraminifera. Yet, long intervals in …

Cenozoic temperature, sea level and CO2 covariations provide insights into climate
sensitivity to external forcings and sea-level sensitivity to climate change. Climate sensitivity …

We present here a new solution for the astronomical computation of the orbital motion of the
Earth spanning from 0 to− 250 Myr. The main improvement with respect to our previous …

This paper addresses two fundamental issues in cyclostratigraphy and paleoclimatology:
identification of astronomical forcing in sequences of stratigraphic cycles, and accurate …

The Geologic Time Scale 2012, winner of a 2012 PROSE Award Honorable Mention for Best
Multi-volume Reference in Science from the Association of American Publishers, is the …

The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time
that Earth's atmospheric CO2 concentrations exceeded 1000 ppm. Global mean …

Calibration of the geological time scale is achieved by independent radioisotopic and
astronomical dating, but these techniques yield discrepancies of∼ 1.0% or more, limiting …
