Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present
TLDR
This work focuses primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records.

Rapid Acidification of the Ocean During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum
TLDR
Geochemical data from five new South Atlantic deep-sea sections indicate that a large mass of carbon dissolved in the ocean at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary and that permanent sequestration of this carbon occurred through silicate weathering feedback.

The Paleocene-Eocene benthic foraminiferal extinction and stable isotope anomalies
Abstract In the late Paleocene to early Eocene, deep sea benthic foraminifera suffered their only global extinction of the last 75 million years and diversity decreased worldwide by 30–50% in a few…

Warming the fuel for the fire: Evidence for the thermal dissociation of methane hydrate during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum
Dramatic warming and upheaval of the carbon system at the end of the Paleocene Epoch have been linked to massive dissociation of sedimentary methane hydrate. However, testing the Paleocene-Eocene…

The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification
TLDR
The geological record contains long-term evidence for a variety of global environmental perturbations, including ocean acidification plus their associated biotic responses, over the past ~300 million years of Earth’s history.

Late Cretaceous through Neogene deep-sea benthic foraminifera(Maud Rise, Weddell Sea, Antarctica)
Upper abyssal to lower bathyal benthic foraminifers from ODP Sites 689 (present water depth 2080 m) and 690 (present water depth 2941 m) on Maud Rise (eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica) are reliable…

Cenozoic mass extinctions in the deep sea: What perturbs the largest habitat on Earth?
Deep-sea benthic foraminifera live in the largest habitat on Earth, constitute an important part of its benthic biomass, and form diverse assemblages with common cosmopolitan species. Modern deep-sea…
