A physiological approach to oceanic processes and glacial-interglacial changes in atmospheric CO2

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2008
One possible path for exploring the Earth’s far-from-equilibrium homeostasis is to assume that it results from the organisation of optimal pulsating systems, analogous to that in complex living beings. Under this premise it becomes natural to examine the

Probabilistic Assessment of Variable Slip Rates of Offshore Buried Thrusts in the Central Adriatic Sea (Italy) Since the Pliocene Time

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Understanding the recent tectonic activity of buried faults represents a challenge for scientists. In the offshore portion of the Northern and Central Apennines foredeep basin in the Central Adriatic Sea, Italy, high sedimentation rates, exceeding tectonic uplift since the Pliocene, and the offshore location are hampering the detection of ...

The Impact of Milankovitch Cycles on Coal Accumulation and Its Implications for Carbon Cycling and Carbon Sequestration: A Case Study of the Pinghu Formation, Area A, Xihu Depression

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The Eocene Pinghu Formation in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf Basin, is a key coal-bearing unit for offshore China’s petroleum exploration.

A Spreading‐Rate Dependence for Periodic Signals Embedded in Otherwise Aperiodic Abyssal Hills

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract I present evidence, through an empirical pre‐whitening analysis, that periodic signals are embedded in otherwise aperiodic abyssal hills across paleo‐spreading rates ranging from 1 to 9 cm/yr (half rate). Data are comprised of archival trackline and multibeam bathymetry profiles in north and south Atlantic Oceans, Pacific‐Antarctic Ridge ...

ASTRONOMICAL CALIBRATION OF THE UPPER LANGHIAN/LOWERSERRAVALLIAN RECORD OF RAS IL PELLEGRIN SECTION (MALTA ISLAND, CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2002
A high-resolution geochemical and micropaleontological data set has been obtained from the uppermost Langhian/lower Serravallian marly sediments of the Ras il Pellegrin section (Malta Island).

Orbital and Millennial‐Scale Cycles Paced Climate Variability During the Late Paleozoic Ice Age in the Southwestern Gondwana

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Orbital cycles are related to variations of Earth's orbit through time and exert profound control on glacial and interglacial climates due to changes in insolation.

Loess Studies in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
Loess in Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) has been studied since its first documented recognition (on Banks Peninsula) in 1878 by Julius von Haast. A decade later, John Hardcastle revealed that southern ANZ loess was both glacial in origin and contained signals of past climates.

Glacial Cycles and Milankovitch Forcing

open access: yes, 2015
Using a recent conceptual model of the glacial-interglacial cycles we present more evidence of Milankovitch cycles being the trigger for retreat and forming of ice sheets in the cycles. This model is based on a finite approximation of an infinite dimensional model which has three components: Budyko's energy balance model describing the annual mean ...

ANALISI SPETTRALE E CICLI DI MILANKOVITCH IN SUCCESSIONI CRETACICHE DEL SUDALPINO ORIENTALE

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017
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 ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
