Development and controlling factors of shale lithofacies cycles in a continental rift basin: A case study of Es4u in the Boxing Subsag of Dongying Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The shale of the upper Es4 formation (Es4u), deposited during the Eocene in the Boxing Subsag of the Dongying Sag, is a typical set of lime-rich lacustrine shale in a continental rift basin.

GENERALIZED MILANKOVITCH CYCLES AND LONG-TERM CLIMATIC HABITABILITY [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Although the Earth's orbit is never far from circular, terrestrial planets around other stars might experience substantial changes in eccentricity that could lead to climate changes, including possible "phase transitions" such as the snowball transition (or its opposite).

Milankovitch cycles and carboniferous climate

Geophysical Research Letters, 1993
Cyclical Permo‐Carboniferous sea level fluctuations have long been linked to glacial‐interglacial fluctuations on Gondwanaland. Similar to the Pleistocene, such fluctuations may in turn have been driven by variations in orbital insolation forcing. Herein we report results from climate model simulations that examine the effect of Milankovitch insolation

Exo-Milankovitch Cycles. I. Orbits and Rotation States [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2018
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.

Toward generalized Milankovitch theory (GMT) [PDF]

Climate of the Past
In recent decades, numerous paleoclimate records and results of model simulations have provided strong support for the astronomical theory of Quaternary glacial cycles formulated in its modern form by Milutin Milankovitch.

A method for the division of the conglomerate depositional cycle under Milankovitch cycles [PDF]

Journal of Geophysics and Engineering, 2017
The conglomerate layer at the upper section of the 4th member of the Shahejie formation of the Yongan district at the Donying depression is a well-developed sedimentation of several periods. It lacks stable muddy layers and sophisticated classification of the sedimentation periods and the proportion of sedimentary layering in each period has long been ...

Milankovitch-driven cycles in the Precambrian of China: The Wumishan Formation

Journal of Palaeogeography, 2013
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).

Milankovitch cycles and the astronomical time scale of the Zhujiang Formation in the Baiyun Sag, Pearl River Mouth Basin, China

Open Geosciences, 2022
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 ...
