The Zhujiang Formation in the Baiyun Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China, is formed primarily in a deep-water continental slope environment. Its chronostratigraphic framework is based on biostratigraphy and sequence stratigraphy, and its geological ...

Milankovitch-driven cycles in the Precambrian of China: The Wumishan Formation [PDF]
Carbonate strata of the Mesoproterozoic Wumishan Formation in the Jixian area near Tianjin are ~3300 m thick and were deposited over some 100 million years (from ~1310±20 Ma to ~1207±10 Ma).

Application of porosity logs for cyclostratigraphic analysis in the absence of gamma ray logs. [PDF]
High-resolution cyclostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic analyses are often compromised and lead to incorrect interpretations due to the unavailability or critical, proven errors in the reference Gamma-Ray (GR) and Density (RHOB) logs in hydrocarbon

Orbital eccentricity and internal feedbacks drove the Triassic megamonsoon variability. [PDF]
The evolution of the Triassic megamonsoon was closely linked to Earth’s orbital variations. Despite recognizing secular orbital cycles as a fundamental pacemaker of the megamonsoon, the driving mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use data-model synthesis

Deep-sea hiatus record reveals orbital pacing by 2.4 Myr eccentricity grand cycles. [PDF]
Astronomical forcing of Earth’s climate is embedded in the rhythms of stratigraphic records, most famously as short-period (104–105 year) Milankovitch cycles.

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.

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.

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 ...
