BACKGROUND Life-forms ranging from bacteria to humans are programmed by circadian
clocks—mechanisms that impose an~ 24-hour rhythmicity on biology in harmony with …

Milankovitch cycles are quasi-periodic fluctuations in insolation forced by the variation in
Earth's astronomical parameters. The astronomically induced climate change affected the …

Astronomical calculations reveal the Solar System's dynamical evolution, including its
chaoticity, and represent the backbone of cyclostratigraphy and astrochronology. An …

The long-term history of the Earth–Moon system as reconstructed from the geological record
remains unclear when based on fossil growth bands and tidal laminations. A possibly more …

Due to tidal interactions in the Earth-Moon system, the spin of the Earth slows down and the
Moon drifts away. This recession of the Moon can now be measured with great precision, but …

Cyclostratigraphy is an important observational window into the history of the Earth-Moon
system. However, there is limited information from the Mesoproterozoic era (1.0 to 1.6 billion …

Compartmentalization was likely essential for primitive chemical systems during the
emergence of life, both for preventing leakage of important components, ie, genetic …

The preservation of Milankovitch cycles in the stratigraphic record provides independent
geological information to study our ancient solar system and can be leveraged to constrain …

The Cambrian is the most poorly dated period of the past 541 million years. This hampers
analysis of profound environmental and biological changes that took place during this …

When Milankovitch cycles are preserved in the geologic record they provide a direct link
between chronometer and climate change, and thus a remarkable opportunity to constrain …
