Equatorial insolation: from precession harmonics to eccentricity frequencies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Since the paper by Hays et al. (1976), spectral analyses of climate proxy records provide substantial evidence that a fraction of the climatic variance is driven by insolation changes in the frequency ranges of obliquity and precession variations ...

Glacial Cycles and Milankovitch Forcing

open access: yes, 2015
Using a recent conceptual model of the glacial-interglacial cycles we present more evidence of Milankovitch cycles being the trigger for retreat and forming of ice sheets in the cycles. This model is based on a finite approximation of an infinite dimensional model which has three components: Budyko's energy balance model describing the annual mean ...

Damping of glacial-interglacial cycles from anthropogenic forcing

open access: yes, 2014
Climate variability over the past million years shows a strong glacial-interglacial cycle of ~100,000 years as a combined result of Milankovitch orbital forcing and climatic resonance.

Evolution of Pliocene climate cyclicity at Hole 806B (5-2 Ma); oxygen isotope record [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
A detailed Pliocene oxygen isotope record from the Ontong Java Plateau, based on measurements of the surface-dwelling planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer, was produced for the period from 5 to 2 Ma. The record documents major long and short-

The Cenomanian–Turonian boundary interval in the Western Canada Foreland Basin: Stratigraphy, geochemistry, geochronology and sea‐level changes recorded in expanded and condensed clastic successions

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1200-1258, November 2025.
Shallow‐marine mudstone of the Cretaceous Kaskapau Formation in the British Columbia foredeep preserves a 185 m thick record of OAE2. The organic carbon‐isotope and osmium‐isotope excursions can be correlated in detail with other Cenomanian–Turonian boundary sections around the world.

Cyclostratigraphy and paleoclimate analysis of the Lingshui Formation in Changchang Sag, Qiongdongnan Basin, China

open access: yesEnergy Geoscience
The Qiongdongnan Basin, located in the sea between Hainan Island and the Xisha Islands, is a faulted Cenozoic basin on the northern continental margin of the South China Sea.

The glacial cycles and cosmic rays

open access: yes, 2004
The cause of the glacial cycles remains a mystery. The origin is widely accepted to be astronomical since paleoclimatic archives contain strong spectral components that match the frequencies of Earth's orbital modulation.

Orbitally‐Driven Nutrient Pulses Linked to Early Cambrian Periodic Oxygenation and Animal Radiation

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract During the Cambrian Explosion, episodic radiations of major animal phyla occurred in concert with repeated coupled carbon‐sulfur isotope excursions. These isotope patterns are thought to reflect oscillations in atmospheric and shallow‐marine O2, which promoted animal diversification events. However, the driver for oxygenation pulses is unclear.

The orbital record in stratigraphy [PDF]

open access: yes
Orbital signals are being discovered in pre-Pleistocene sediments. Due to their hierarchical nature these cycle patterns are complex, and the imprecision of geochronology generally makes the assignment of stratigraphic cycles to specific orbital cycles ...

Astronomical cycle driving of coal-bearing rock system rotations in the Permian Shihezi Formation at Renlou Coal Mine

open access: yesSolid Earth Sciences
Marine terrestrial transitional sedimentary rocks of Renlou Coal Mine are developed in coal bearing rock formations, which exhibits obvious cyclicity. These sedimentary cycles have a good correspondence with astronomical cycle signals.
