Interglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high
sea level), end‐members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify …

Abstract Otavi Group is a 1.5–3.5-km-thick epicontinental marine carbonate succession of
Neoproterozoic age, exposed in an 800-km-long Ediacaran− Cambrian fold belt that rims …

Reconstructions of Earth's past climate strongly influence our understanding of the dynamics
and sensitivity of the climate system. Yet global temperature has been reconstructed for only …

Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …

Marked by a progressive increase in the amplitude of climate oscillations, an evolving
waveform, and a shift towards a quasi-100 ky frequency, the Early–Middle Pleistocene …

Abstract The Mid‐Pleistocene Transition (MPT), where the Pleistocene glacial cycles
changed from 41 to∼ 100 kyr periodicity, is one of the most intriguing unsolved issues in the …

The pacing of glacial–interglacial cycles during the Quaternary period (the past 2.6 million
years) is attributed to astronomically driven changes in high-latitude insolation. However, it …

高精度的新生代地质年代表对理解地球圈层的演化规律并最终实现预测其变化趋势有着重要
意义. 近年来, 天文旋回理论逐渐获得了广泛认可并应用于天文地质年代表的建立 …

The evolution of the landscape and the behavior of the groundwater system are key
concerns for the long-term management of radioactive waste in deep geological …

Ice ages are known since the mid-nineteenth century. From the beginning, they have been
at the center of theories of climate and climate change. Still, the mechanisms behind these …
