Much of our understanding of Earth's past climate comes from the measurement of oxygen
and carbon isotope variations in deep-sea benthic foraminifera. Yet, long intervals in …

The spectral view of variability is a compelling and adaptable tool for understanding
variability of the climate. In Mitchell (1976) seminal paper, it was used to express, on one …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) was a gradual warming event and
carbon cycle perturbation that occurred between 40.5 and 40.1 Ma. A number of …

Although the role of Earth's orbital variations in driving global climate cycles has long been
recognized, their effect on evolution is hitherto unknown. The fossil remains of …

Abstract The International Ocean Discovery Programme (IODP) and its predecessors
generated a treasure trove of Cenozoic climate and carbon cycle dynamics. Yet, it remains …

Abstract The Ordovician (∼ 487 to 443 Ma) ended with the formation of extensive Southern
Hemisphere ice sheets, known as the Hirnantian glaciation, and the second largest mass …

Driven primarily by variations in the earth's axis wobble, tilt, and orbit eccentricity, our planet
experienced massive glacial/interglacial reorganizations of climate and atmospheric CO 2 …

Abstract The late Pliensbachian–early Toarcian δ 13 C org in the Mochras Core (UK)
consists of segments (rising and falling limbs, valleys, plateaus) that correlate to coeval …

Astronomical forcing of Earth's climate is embedded in the rhythms of stratigraphic records,
most famously as short-period (104–105 year) Milankovitch cycles. Astronomical grand …

Pre‐Pleistocene age models used in paleoceanography and paleoclimatology often rely on
the imprint of astronomically calculated cycles of eccentricity and other solar system …
