Extending the geological calibration of the geological time scale

open access: yes, 2002
This thesis arises from the fact that changes in the geometry of the Earth-Sun system, due to the gravitational interaction among the planets, cause quasi-cyclic climatic variations that are imprinted in the geological record.A speech-recognition method ...

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Eocene-Oligocene sea surface temperature and pCO2 estimates

open access: yes, 2016
The long-term cooling trend of the Cenozoic is punctuated by shorter-term climatic events, such as the inception of permanent ice sheets on Antarctica at the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (~33.7 Ma).

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Source‐to‐sink sediment transport reversals during glacial sea‐level lowstands sustain soil formation on pericoastal carbonate terrains

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Last Tile Added to a Mosaic: Phylogenetic Placement of Enigmatic Freshwater Fish Leucalburnus satunini (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae) Uncovered

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Subfamily Leuciscinae, the largest freshwater fish group of the western Palearctic region, has been widely studied, including the phylogenetic relationships between its species and genera. However, until now, one genus completely escaped attention in this regard. Even though several works hypothesised about its evolutionary relationships based
