The Effect of Milankovitch Variations in Insolation on Equatorial Seasonality [PDF]
Although the sun crosses the equator 2 times per year at the equinoxes, at times in the past the equatorial insolation has had only one maximum and one minimum throughout the seasonal cycle because of Milankovitch orbital variations.

Progress in paleoclimate modeling [PDF]
International audienceThis paper briefly surveys areas of paleoclimate modeling notable for recent progress. New ideas, including hypotheses giving a pivotal role to sea ice, have revitalized the low-order models used to simulate the time evolution of ...

Solar Resonant Diffusion Waves as a Driver of Terrestrial Climate Change [PDF]
A theory is described based on resonant thermal diffusion waves in the sun that appears to explain many details of the paleotemperature record for the last 5.3 million years.

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.

Using the large-scale thick 4# coal seam from the Mid-Jurassic in the southern Ordos Basin as an example, this paper studied the net primary productivity (NPP) level of the Mid-Jurassic peatland, and discussed its control factors.

Restoring the deposition velocity during evolution in basin analysis is an important aspect. The restoration of high-resolution deposition velocity—the deposition velocity over a short geological period—can improve the precision of basin analysis and ...

Exo-Milankovitch Cycles. I. Orbits and Rotation States [PDF]
Abstract The obliquity of the Earth, which controls our seasons, varies by only ∼2.°5 over ∼40,000 years, and its eccentricity varies by only ∼0.05 over 100,000 years. Nonetheless, these small variations influence Earth’s ice ages. For exoplanets, however, variations can be significantly larger.

Linking glacial-interglacial states to multiple equilibria of climate [PDF]
Glacial-Interglacial cycles are often described as an amplified global response of the climate to perturbations in solar radiation caused by oscillations of Earth's orbit. However, it remains unclear whether internal feedbacks are large enough to account
