Southern Ocean and Global Dinoflagellate Cyst Events Compared: Index Events for the Late Cretaceous–Neogene

Late Cretaceous to Quaternary organic walled dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) events were recognized at two sites offshore Tasmania during Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 189. Detailed…

Global Cooling During the Eocene-Oligocene Climate Transition

About 34 million years ago, Earth's climate shifted from a relatively ice-free world to one with glacial conditions on Antarctica characterized by substantial ice sheets. How Earth's temperature…

Subtropical Arctic Ocean temperatures during the Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum

It is shown that sea surface temperatures near the North Pole increased from ∼18 °C to over 23‬°C during this event, which suggests that higher-than-modern greenhouse gas concentrations must have operated in conjunction with other feedback mechanisms—perhaps polar stratospheric clouds or hurricane-induced ocean mixing—to amplify early Palaeogene polar temperatures.

Timing and nature of the deepening of the Tasmanian Gateway

[1] Tectonic changes that produced a deep Tasmanian Gateway between Australia and Antarctica are widely invoked as the major mechanism for Antarctic cryosphere growth and Antarctic Circumpolar…

Early Palaeogene temperature evolution of the southwest Pacific Ocean

This work presents a uniquely continuous and chronostratigraphically well-calibrated TEX86 record of sea surface temperature (SST) from an ocean sediment core in the East Tasman Plateau, and shows that southwest Pacific SSTs rose above present-day tropical values and had gradually decreased to about 21 °C by the early Late Eocene age.

The Global Standard Stratotype-section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Eocene Series in the Dababiya section (Egypt)

1.58 m above the base of Section DBH in the Dababiya Quarry, on the east bank of the Nile River, about 35 km south of Luxor, Egypt. It is the base of Bed 1 of the Dababyia Quarry Beds of the El…

Extreme warming of mid-latitude coastal ocean during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: Inferences from TEX86 and isotope data

Changes in sea surface temperature (SST) during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Max- imum (PETM) have been estimated primarily from oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca records generated from deep-sea cores. Here…
