In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic …
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 …
Since the recognition in the mid-19th century that glaciers had been considerably more extensive than at present, the Quaternary (Pleistocene and Holocene series) has been …
About 34 million years ago, Earth's climate shifted from a relatively ice-free world to one with glacial conditions on Antarctica characterized by substantial ice sheets. How Earth's …
Arctic sea-ice extent and volume are declining rapidly. Several studies project that the Arctic Ocean may become seasonally ice-free by the year 2040 or even earlier. Putting this into …
The long-standing view of Earth's Cenozoic glacial history calls for the first continental-scale glaciation of Antarctica in the earliest Oligocene epoch (∼ 33.6 million years ago), followed …
The origin of third-order eustatic sequences is reviewed by comparing recent sequence stratigraphic data to the latest, best-constrained astronomical model. Middle Eocene to …
The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) is an enigmatic warming event that represents an abrupt reversal in long‐term cooling through the Eocene. In order to further …
Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene (EO) climate transition (ca. 34 Ma) marks a period of Antarctic ice growth and a major step from early Cenozoic greenhouse conditions toward …
