Lethally hot temperatures during the Early Triassic greenhouse
Y Sun, MM Joachimski, PB Wignall, C Yan, Y Chen… - Science, 2012 - science.org
Global warming is widely regarded to have played a contributing role in numerous past
biotic crises. Here, we show that the end-Permian mass extinction coincided with a rapid …

A revised, late Palaeozoic glacial time-space framework for eastern Australia, and comparisons with other regions and events
A timeframe of glacial and nonglacial intervals in the Carboniferous and Permian systems of
eastern Australia was published by Fielding et al.(2008a). In this scheme, eight discrete …

Age and pattern of the southern high-latitude continental end-Permian extinction constrained by multiproxy analysis
Past studies of the end-Permian extinction (EPE), the largest biotic crisis of the Phanerozoic,
have not resolved the timing of events in southern high-latitudes. Here we use palynology …

The chemical index of alteration (CIA) as a proxy for climate change during glacial-interglacial transitions in Earth history
The glacial-interglacial transitions of ice ages are associated with large, rapid changes in
climate, which potentially can be reconstructed from stratigraphic profiles of the chemical …

Glacial paradoxes during the late Paleozoic ice age: Evaluating the equilibrium line altitude as a control on glaciation
The late Paleozoic ice age (LPIA) consists of multiple glaciations that waxed and waned
across Gondwana during the Carboniferous and Permian. Three key intervals are evaluated …
