This article addresses the fundamental difference between coal rank and coal type. While theoretically settled long ago as being different aspects of coal systems science, the two …
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 …
Sea levels have been determined for most of the Paleozoic Era (542 to 251 million years ago), but an integrated history of sea levels has remained unrealized. We reconstructed a …
The late Paleozoic icehouse was the longest-lived ice age of the Phanerozoic, and its demise constitutes the only recorded turnover to a greenhouse state. This review …
Icehouses are the less common climate state on Earth, and thus it is notable that the longest- lived (c. 370 to 260 Ma) and possibly most extensive and intense of icehouse periods …
Stratigraphic and sedimentological data from New South Wales and Queensland, eastern Australia, indicate that the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age comprised at least eight discrete glacial …
Theory regarding the causation of mass extinctions is in need of systematization, which is the focus of this contribution. Every mass extinction has both an ultimate cause, ie the trigger …
Global mean sea level is a key component within the fields of climate and oceanographic modelling in the Anthropocene. Hence, an improved understanding of eustatic sea level in …
No consensus currently exists regarding the magnitude of Cretaceous short-term (less than 3 Ma in duration) eustatic sea-level change. The lack of a consensus limits the ability to …
