Concept and Definitions in Cyclostratigraphy (Second Report of the Cyclostratigraphy Working Group)

2004
Abstract The application of sedimentary cycles in geochronology goes back into the 19th century, when Gilbert (1895) correctly linked repetitive limestone-shale alternations to the astronomical cycle of precession to determine the absolute duration of part of the Cretaceous.

Magneto- and Cyclostratigraphy in the Red Clay Sequence: New Age Model and Paleoclimatic Implication for the Eastern Chinese Loess Plateau

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015
The Chinese Loess Plateau red clay sequences display a continuous alternation of sedimentary cycles that represent recurrent climatic fluctuations from 2.58 Ma to the Miocene.

Cyclostratigraphy and Astrochronology

2012
The Milankovitch theory that quasi-periodic oscillations in the Earth-Sun position have induced significant 104-106 year variations in the Earth’s stratigraphic record of climate is widely acknowledged. This chapter summarizes the Earth’s astronomical parameters, the nature of astronomically forced solar radiation, fossil astronomical signals in the ...

Cyclostratigraphy at a tipping point

Geology Today, 2023
There are key patterns of variation in the (litho‐) stratigraphical record, which, with advances in computing technology in recent decades, have become amenable to objective numerical analysis. This research has chiefly focused on the search for spatially regular cycles in the sedimentary rock record, since there are theoretical grounds for believing ...

Cyclostratigraphy and the Problem of Astrochronologic Testing

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
Abstract When Milankovitch cycles are preserved in the geologic record they provide a direct link between chronometer and climate change, and thus a remarkable opportunity to constrain the evolution of the surficial Earth System. The identification of such cycles has allowed exploration of the geologic record with unprecedented temporal resolution ...

Cyclostratigraphy

2004
Abstract This volume is derived from an SEPM international workshop entitled Multidisciplinary Approach to Cyclostratigraphy, organized by the editors in May 2001 and held in Sorrento (Naples, Italy). In the Introduction we offer a brief history of how concepts of orbital cyclicity and its effects on the Earth evolved, an appraisal of

Cyclostratigraphy, Quo Vadis?

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1995
Abstract Climatic oscillations forced by orbital variations left their imprint not only on Pleistocene ice regimes, as postulated by Croll (1875, Climate and Time in their Geological Relations , Appleton, New York) and by Milankovitch (1941, Belgrade, Serbian Academy of Science ,

Mediterranean contributions to cyclostratigraphy and astrochronology

Sedimentology, 2008
AbstractIn 1895, G.K. Gilbert suggested that rhythmical repetition of patterns in the sequences of strata correspond to orbital variations and could provide a chronology for Earth history. This suggestion remained a heuristic hypothesis in need of testing; in this, the Mediterranean region latterly played a crucial role.

Cyclostratigraphy and the Astronomical Time Scale

Stratigraphy, 2007
An important innovation in the International Geologic Time Scale 2004 is the use of astronomically forced stratigraphy, or cyclostratigraphy, to define geologic time over 0 to 23.03 Ma, much of it at an unprecedented resolution of 0.02 myr. In addition, ‘floating’ astronomical time scales with 0.10 to 0.40 myr resolution are defined for entire epochs ...
