A rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy study was conducted on the Carboniferous Mauch Chunk Formation red beds at Pottsville, Pennsylvania to determine if Milankovitch climate forcing could be detected in these terrestrial, fluvial deposits with hematite as ...

Abstract Marine carbonate carbon isotopes (δ13C), over orbital to multi‐million‐year timescales, provide critical insight into the carbon cycle connecting Earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on deep time carbon cycle dynamics remains poorly constrained.

Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

Abstract Peatlands are important global carbon stores, but it is unclear whether they will continue as carbon sinks under future climates, or degrade, leaking carbon to the atmosphere. We used the DigiBog peatland development model to explore this question for a blanket peatland in Glen Affric, Scotland, investigating how topography and climate have ...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century
Abstract The top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) albedo controls the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and is influenced by the reflectivity of both the atmosphere and surface. With considerable changes in land use over the past few decades it is reasonable to question whether a perturbed surface albedo has influenced TOA albedo over the corresponding ...

We aim to elucidate the sedimentary cyclicity of the Middle Jurassic Bath–Bajocian Formation in the northern S Oilfield of the West Siberian Basin, address the lack of high-resolution Milankovitch cycle research in this region, and support hydrocarbon ...

A spring forward for hominin evolution in East Africa. [PDF]
Groundwater is essential to modern human survival during drought periods. There is also growing geological evidence of springs associated with stone tools and hominin fossils in the East African Rift System (EARS) during a critical period for hominin ...

ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...
