Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy of the Carboniferous Mauch Chunk Formation, Pottsville, PA, United States

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
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 ...

Late Jurassic Carbon Isotope Excursion (Middle Oxfordian Event) Paces With Astronomical Forcing in the Northwestern Tethys

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 6, June 2026.
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.

Laurasian Seaway History During the Early Jurassic From Quantitative Mineralogy and Detrital Zircon Dating

open access: yesPaleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, June 2026.
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 ...

Assessing the Response of Blanket Peatlands to Climate Change Using the DigiBog Model and Winter's Concept of the “Hydrologic Landscape”

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

Continental lacustrine fine-grained lithofacies, assemblage and geological significance of unconventional petroleum: A case study of the Paleogene of the 4th member of the Shahejie formation in the Jiyang depression

open access: yesEnergy Exploration & Exploitation, 2023
Taking the upper sub-member of Sha 4 in Well Fanye 1 and Well Niuye 1 in Dongying Sag, Jiyang Depression, Bohai Bay Basin as a typical example, this paper adopts the method of combining macro and micro laminar characterization and complementing each ...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
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 ...

Astronomically Forced Cyclicity and Cyclostratigraphic Framework of the Middle Jurassic Bath–Bajocian Formation in the West Siberian Basin

open access: yesApplied Sciences
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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
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 ...

Cenozoic Time Constraints on the Evolution of a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol Toposequence, Northwest Amazon Basin, Brazil

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
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 ...
