Abstract The Early Jurassic Jenkyns Event (∼ 183 Ma) was characterized in terrestrial
environments by global warming, perturbation of the carbon cycle, enhanced weathering …

Early marine seafloor lithification of carbonate sediments leads to the formation of
hardgrounds and is known from rocks as old as the Proterozoic. Hardground surfaces …

There is an abundance of evidence for short intervals of cold climatic conditions during the
Early Cretaceous. However, the lack of a high-resolution, long-term Early Cretaceous …

Sea-level change is an important parameter controlling the expansion of oxygen-depleted
conditions in neritic settings during oceanic anoxic events (OAEs). Despite this fundamental …

Abstract Preceding the early Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event by∼ 1 Myr, the Pliensbachian–
Toarcian boundary event is in many aspects as severe and disturbing for the environment as …

Abstract The Pliensbachian/Toarcian boundary (Pl/To) event precedes by ca. 1 Myr the
onset of the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event. It corresponds to a second order mass …

The Mesozoic was the time of the break-up of Pangaea, with profound consequences not
only for the paleocontinental configuration, but also for paleoclimates and for the evolution of …

This paper reports new paleomagnetic and geochronologic data from a~ 1500 m thick
composite section belonging to the Drakensberg group, the thickest remnant of the Karoo …

Abstract Models predict that tropical cyclone intensity should increase on a warming planet.
Observing this relationship remains, however, a difficult task since no clear trend is yet …

Lower Jurassic sedimentary successions in the Atlantic margin basins include several
organic-rich intervals, some with source rock potential; time-equivalent units are also …
