The Astronomical Pulse of Global Extinction Events
The linkage between astronomical cycles and the periodicity of mass extinctions is reviewed and discussed. In particular, the apparent 26 million year cycle of global extinctions may be related to the motion of the solar system around the galaxy ...

Quaternary chronostratigraphy - a review [PDF]
Quaternary development is characterized by strong climatic fluctuations associated with repeated glacier expansions. Consequently the Quaternary chronostratigraphy is largely based on the dating of climatic fluctuations which have led to large-scale ...

Inner workings of Milankovitch cycles [PDF]
Milankovitch cycles are incoming solar radiation (insolation) cycles forced by variations in Earth’s orbital eccentricity, axial obliquity and precession, and are recorded on Earth in cyclostratigraphy.

The existence, or not, of periodicities in abyssal hill morphology has been vigorously debated in recent publications, and some have hypothesized that such periodicities are evidence of the impact of Milankovitch cycle‐caused sea level fluctuations on ...

Sea level changes versus hydrothermal diagenesis: Origin of Triassic carbonate platform cycles in the Dolomites, Italy: Discussion [PDF]
In his recent paper, Blendinger (2004) presents a new and unconventional hypothesis for the formation of the Triassic Latemàr carbonate cycles. He assigned the cycles to intermittent hydrothermal influence alternating with normal marine deposition ...
