Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) record profound changes in the climatic and
paleoceanographic state of the planet and represent major disturbances in the global …

The Anthropocene, an informal term used to signal the impact of collective human activity on
biological, physical and chemical processes on the Earth system, is assessed using …

We evaluate the boundary of the Anthropocene geological time interval as an epoch, since it
is useful to have a consistent temporal definition for this increasingly used unit, whether the …

The term Anthropocene, proposed and increasingly employed to denote the current interval
of anthropogenic global environmental change, may be discussed on stratigraphic grounds …

The middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (17–15Ma; MCO) is a period of global warmth and
relatively high CO2 and is thought to be associated with a significant retreat of the Antarctic …

The proposal for the “Anthropocene” epoch as a formal unit of the geologic time scale has
received extensive attention in scientific and public media. However, most articles on the …

We consider the Anthropocene as a physical, chronostratigraphic unit across terrestrial and
marine sedimentary facies, from both a present and a far future perspective, provisionally …

The boron isotope composition (δ 11 B) of foraminiferal calcite reflects the pH and the boron
isotope composition of the seawater the foraminifer grew in. For pH reconstructions, the δ 11 …

We consider whether the Anthropocene is recorded in the isotope geochemistry of the
atmosphere, sediments, plants and ice cores, and the time frame during which any changes …

Laboratory experiments showed that the isotopic fractionation of δ 13 C and of δ 18 O during
calcite formation of planktic foraminifera are species-specific functions of ambient CO 3 2 …
