Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

This paper explores the evolution of geoscientific inquiry, tracing the progression from
traditional physics-based models to modern data-driven approaches facilitated by significant …

The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is a community-curated data resource that supports
interdisciplinary global change research by enabling broad-scale studies of taxon and …

The spatial coverage and temporal resolution of the Early Paleozoic paleoclimate record are
limited, primarily due to the paucity of well-preserved skeletal material commonly used for …

Current barriers hindering data-driven discoveries in deep-time Earth (DE) include:
substantial volumes of DE data are not digitized; many DE databases do not adhere to FAIR …

Abstract Knowledge graph (KG) is a topic of great interests to geoscientists as it can be
deployed throughout the data life cycle in data-intensive geoscience studies. Nevertheless …

Microbial life permeates Earth's critical zone and has likely inhabited nearly all our planet's
surface and near subsurface since before the beginning of the sedimentary rock record …

Whether the fossil record should be read at face value or whether it presents a distorted view
of the history of life is an argument seemingly as old as many fossils themselves. In the late …

The growth and morphology of stromatolites have been previously linked to diverse
microbial activities. However, the role of microbial metabolisms on carbonate formation …

Abstract Otavi Group is a 1.5–3.5-km-thick epicontinental marine carbonate succession of
Neoproterozoic age, exposed in an 800-km-long Ediacaran− Cambrian fold belt that rims …
