BACKGROUND Anthropogenic emissions are rapidly altering Earth's climate, pushing it toward a warmer state for which there is no historical precedent. Although no perfect analog …
Geological evidence indicates that grounded ice sheets reached sea level at all latitudes during two long-lived Cryogenian (58 and≥ 5 My) glaciations. Combined uranium-lead and …
The snowball Earth hypothesis predicts globally synchronous glaciations that persisted on a multimillion year time scale. Geochronological tests of this hypothesis have been limited by …

Atmospheric CO 2 levels and global climate are regulated on geological timescales by the silicate weathering feedback. However, this thermostat has failed multiple times in Earth's …
Abstract Cryogenian Sturtian and Marinoan glacial and associated strata record the most severe paleoclimatic events in Earth history and are the main test ground of the snowball …
Stratigraphic, geochronologic, and geochemical patterns of Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Utah, Nevada, and SE Idaho record a dynamically …
Abstract The Proterozoic Eon spans Earth's middle age during which many important transitions occurred. These transitions include the oxygenation of the atmosphere …
Constructing an accurate timeline is critical for reconstructing the Earth systems through critical transitions in climate, geochemistry, and life. Existing dates constrain synchronous …
