Event stratigraphy is used to help characterise the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphic
concept, based on analogous deep-time events, for which we provide a novel …

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 …

Global warming threatens marine biota with losses of unknown severity. Here, we quantify
global and local extinction risks in the ocean across a range of climate futures on the basis …

Abstract Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) can have a significant global climatic effect as
monitored by sedimentary trace and isotopic compositions that record paleo …

The greatest relative changes in marine biodiversity accumulation occurred during the Early
Paleozoic. The precision of temporal constraints on these changes is crude, hampering our …

The long-term diversification of the biosphere responds to changes in the physical
environment. Yet, over the continents, the nearly monotonic expansion of life started later in …

Abstract The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a revolutionary mission
that simultaneously investigates two of the most important overarching issues in …

Recent analyses of Sepkoski's genus-level compendium show that only three events form a
statistically separate class of high extinction intensities when only post-Early Ordovician …

The discipline-wide effort to database the fossil record at the occurrence level has made it
possible to estimate marine invertebrate extinction and origination rates with much greater …

Environmental stresses such as waterlogging, drought, salinity, high and low temperature,
and elevated CO 2 levels affect plant development and pose an increasing warning to …
