China has recently faced significant difficulties in the exploitation of its shale oil and gas resources. An essential geological obstacle preventing the breakthrough of Chinese shale oil exploration is the precise identification of productive oil and ...

ABSTRACT Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Climate Science (CS) confront the epistemic problem of inferring an unobservable state from incomplete, indirect, and context‐dependent measurements. Although their physics differ profoundly (non‐commutative algebra vs.

ANALISI SPETTRALE E CICLI DI MILANKOVITCH IN SUCCESSIONI CRETACICHE DEL SUDALPINO ORIENTALE
Spectral analysis technique has been applied for the first time in the Southern Alps, to three pelagic and hemipelagic sections (Venetian Prealps and Dolomites) of Barremian-Cenomanian age, characrerized by a couplet alternation of carbonate rich and ...

Abstract The Ediacaran–Cambrian (∼635–539 Ma) geomagnetic field is characterized by unusually high reversal rates and markedly weakened field strength. Estimates of these reversal frequencies can reveal key aspects of deep Earth dynamics and their potential influence on surface environments and early complex life.

Variations in solar insolation caused by changes in the Earth’s orbit—specifically its eccentricity, obliquity, and precession—can leave discernible marks on the geologic record.

Self-sustained oscillations and global climate changes
The periodic changes of atmospheric CO2 and temperature over the last 5 Myr reveal three features that challenge current climate research, namely: (i) the mid-Pleistocene transition of dominant 41-kyr cycles to dominant 100-kyr cycles, (ii) the absence ...

This review presents an investigation of the evolution of the Baltic Sea basin and its connections through the Eemian Stage, based upon sequences of marine and associated deposits from the White Sea to the Southwest Baltic, via the Karelian channel. Pollen analyses, foraminiferal and ostracod analyses provide the evolution of relative sea‐level change,

Eccentricity Controls the Magnitude and Periodicity of Pleistocene Glacial Cycles
Abstract During the Mid‐Pleistocene Transition (∼1,250–750 ka) glacial cycle amplitude and duration increased, from smaller, ∼40 ka‐period middle Pleistocene ice sheets to larger, ∼100 ka‐period late Pleistocene ice sheets. This transition in glacial period and size has been attributed to some combination of long‐term, monotonic, carbon and climate ...

Abstract The climatic optimum of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11, MIS 11c, was a remarkably long warmer‐than‐present climate interval with prolonged elevated atmospheric CO2 levels. While the Pacific Southern Ocean has a strong leverage on atmospheric CO2 through oceanic CO2 release, past changes in carbon cycle dynamics in this region and their ...

Research Status and Development Direction of Well Log Cyclostratigraphy
Well log cyclostratigraphy has become the foundation for studying many key scientific issues in the field of geosciences by identifying, extracting, and interpreting astronomical cycles recorded by geophysical logs. This paper analyzes the driving forces
