Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian (∼635–539 Ma) geomagnetic field is characterized by unusually high reversal rates and markedly weakened field strength. Estimates of these reversal frequencies can reveal key aspects of deep Earth dynamics and their potential influence on surface environments and early complex life.

High‐resolution cyclostratigraphy in growth strata are used to reconstruct unsteady folding rates at the regional‐scale Pico del Aguila anticline, southern Pyrenees, to evaluate deformation modulation. Magnetic polarity stratigraphy was used to calibrate

Pacing Early Mars Sedimentary Rock Formation
Abstract Mars' sedimentary rock record documents past surface and/or near‐surface liquid water. However, paleoclimate models struggle to explain conditions warm enough for past liquid water. One hypothesis is transient warming by H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$‐CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ collision‐induced absorption (CIA) (H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$‐CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2 ...

Aligning and synchronization of MIS5 proxy records from Lake Ohrid (FYROM) with independently dated Mediterranean archives: implications for DEEP core chronology [PDF]
The DEEP site sediment sequence obtained during the ICDP SCOPSCO project at Lake Ohrid was dated using tephrostratigraphic information, cyclostratigraphy, and orbital tuning through the marine isotope stages (MIS) 15-1. Although this approach is suitable

Abstract Widespread organic‐rich shales are associated with perturbations in productivity or preservation conditions; however, the major controlling factors, especially the phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) interactions and their impacts on organic carbon burial in the paleolake ecosystem remain poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

A >70‐Myr‐Long Geomagnetic Field Reversal Hyperactivity Across the Ediacaran‐Cambrian Transition
Abstract The long‐term variation of the geomagnetic field is a key constraint for unraveling the geodynamo processes and the evolution of Earth's deep interior. However, the geomagnetic reversal pattern during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition remains elusive. Here we present an integrated magneto‐ and cyclo‐stratigraphic study of a ∼1.8‐Myr‐long, late

Disentangling Continental Weathering During the Late Paleozoic Ice Age
Abstract The consumption of atmospheric CO2 through continental weathering played a critical role in shaping the evolution of the late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), presumably driven by the Hercynian orogeny and the evolution of terrestrial plants. However, the relative impacts of these two major drivers to continental weathering remain poorly constrained.

Abstract The Paleogene sedimentary basins of southeastern Tibet record sediment dispersal patterns associated with crustal deformation during the early stages of the India–Asia collision. We present detrital zircon U–Pb geochronology, tourmaline geochemistry, and petrographic data from the Gonjo and Mangkang basins that suggest a reginal interconnected

The Late Oligocene Huagang Formation in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf Basin, records typical braided river delta deposits. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on sand-body distribution remains unclear.
