The sedimentary cycle of Fengcheng Formation in Junggar Basin changes rapidly and is difficult to identify. The low classification accuracy of high-frequency fine-grained sedimentary cycles restricts the exploration of unconventional shale oil and gas ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Low-latitude climate variability in the Heinrich frequency band of the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world [PDF]
Deep marine successions of early Campanian age from DSDP (Deep Sea Drilling Project) site 516F drilled at low paleolatitudes in the South Atlantic reveal distinct sub-Milankovitch variability in addition to precession, obliquity and eccentricity-related ...

Testing the impact of stratigraphic uncertainty on spectral analyses of sedimentary series [PDF]
Spectral analysis is a key tool for identifying periodic patterns in sedimentary sequences, including astronomically related orbital signals. While most spectral analysis methods require equally spaced samples, this condition is rarely achieved either in

We use the benefits of the full-resolution methodology for time-series decomposition singular spectrum analysis to assess the quantitative impact of orbital and, for the first time, millennial-scale Sun-related climate responses from EPICA records.

Comparison of variations in sediment accumulation rates of the upper part of Zakeen Formation through cyclostratigraphic study in 2SK-1 and 2SKD-1 wells in Salman gas field [PDF]
The Zakeen Formation is one of the possible gas reservoirs in the Zagros sedimentary basin. In this paper, the cyclostratigraphic study of the upper part of the Zakeen Formation was performed by using evolutionary spectral analysis methods.

Time-calibrated Milankovitch cycles for the late Permian [PDF]
AbstractAn important innovation in the geosciences is the astronomical time scale. The astronomical time scale is based on the Milankovitch-forced stratigraphy that has been calibrated to astronomical models of paleoclimate forcing; it is defined for much of Cenozoic–Mesozoic.
