Although the axial and dominant geocentric character of the Earth's magnetic field means that paleolongitude is indeterminate, paleomagnetism is otherwise the only truly quantitative …
Faunal turnover in Indo-Australia across Wallace's Line is one of the most recognizable patterns in biogeography and has catalyzed debate about the role of evolutionary and …
Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …
The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time that Earth's atmospheric CO 2 concentrations exceeded 1000 ppm. Global mean …
Dissolved oxygen (O2) is essential for most ocean ecosystems, fuelling organisms' respiration and facilitating the cycling of carbon and nutrients. Oxygen measurements have …
The determinants of biodiversity patterns can be understood using macroevolutionary analyses. The integration of fossils into phylogenies offers a deeper understanding of …
This contribution provides an overview of Paleomagnetism. org, an open-source, multi- platform online environment for paleomagnetic data analysis. Paleomagnetism. org provides …
Abundant lake ice-rafted debris in Late Triassic and earliest Jurassic strata of the Junggar Basin of northwestern China (paleolatitude~ 71° N) indicates that freezing winter …
Past greenhouse periods with elevated atmospheric CO2 were characterized by globally warmer sea-surface temperatures (SST). However, the extent to which the high latitudes …
