Sea Level Change Through the Last Glacial Cycle

Changes: The Spatial and Evolutionary Responses of Terrestrial Biota, B. Huntley et al., Eds. (SpringerVerlag, Berlin, 1997), pp. 357–370. 46. B. Huntley, I. C. Prentice, in Global Climates Since the…

Astronomical pacing of late Palaeocene to early Eocene global warming events

A distinct carbonate-poor red clay layer in deep-sea cores from Walvis ridge is reported, which is term the Elmo horizon, which has similar geochemical and biotic characteristics as the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum, but of smaller magnitude, suggesting that it represents a second global thermal maximum.

Very large release of mostly volcanic carbon during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum

Boron isotope data are presented that show that the ocean surface pH was persistently low during the PETM, and enhanced burial of organic matter seems to have been important in eventually sequestering the released carbon and accelerating the recovery of the Earth system.

Depth dependency of the Paleocene‐Eocene carbon isotope excursion: Paired benthic and terrestrial biomarker records (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 208, Walvis Ridge)

The Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) coincided with a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE) in carbonate and organic matter, in terrestrial and marine records. Consequently the PETM global…

The Geologic Time Scale 2012

Variations in the C/C value of total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the world’s oceans through time have been documented through stratigraphic study of marine carbonate rocks (dCcarb). This…

Neogene ice volume and ocean temperatures: Insights from infaunal foraminiferal Mg/Ca paleothermometry

Antarctic continental-scale glaciation is generally assumed to have initiated at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition, yet its subsequent evolution is poorly constrained. We reconstruct changes in bottom…

Carbon sequestration during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum by an efficient biological pump

Globally increased temperatures and a perturbation of the carbon cycle and biosphere characterized the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum about 55.9 million years ago, but its effect on ocean…
