Abstract The Valanginian positive carbon isotope excursion (Weissert Event, ca. 135 million years ago) documents a major global carbon cycle and climate perturbation. Radioisotopic dating suggests that this event was broadly contemporaneous with an interval of profoundly enhanced volcanic activity during the emplacement of the Paraná–Etendeka Large ...

Abstract The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) Chicxulub impact produced globally synchronous enrichments of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) and a pronounced decline in marine osmium isotope ratios (187Os/188Os), forming a key geochemical marker of the boundary.

Abstract Despite decades of research, hundreds of peer‐reviewed papers, and considerable relevance to Earth's future, the rapid global warming and tremendous CO2 input at the start of the Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) remain highly debated.

The Milun Fault forms the northernmost onshore segment of the Longitudinal Valley fault system, a plate‐boundary suture between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates in eastern Taiwan, and poses a significant seismic hazard to Hualien City. Despite destructive earthquakes in 1951 and 2018, the shallow structure, long‐term slip behavior, and ...

Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Calcareous nannofossils and Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events
Abstract Twenty-five years ago, Mesozoic oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) were documented and formalised as intervals of widespread to global deposition of organic matter. The Toarcian, Early Aptian (OAE1a) and latest Cenomanian (OAE2) OAEs are truly global in nature, commonly carbonate-poor, and typically represented by organic carbon-rich black shales.

Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Evidence for Limited Atmospheric CO2 Rise at the Miocene Climatic Optimum
Abstract The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; 16.9–14.7 Ma) was a relatively warm period with atmospheric CO2 averaging ∼500 μatm but CO2 change across its onset is poorly documented. We present a record of algal 13C‐fractionation covering the Early to Middle Miocene (∼18.5–15 Ma), with a gap at the MCO onset, from Ocean Drilling Program Site 959 in the ...

Calcareous nannofossil communities during Late Triassic Mass Extinction and Early Jurassic recovery in the NW Tethys: evidence from Slovakia, Western Carpathians [PDF]
The first calcareous nannoplankton extinction and recovery close to the Triassic/Jurassic boundary (TJB) were studied in two Tatra Mountains sections of Kardolína and Furkaska.
