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 ...

A New Role for the AMOC During the Ice Ages
Abstract The Atlantic's Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) collapsed during the last glacial termination, and the collapse led to warmings in both hemispheres. It is not clear, however, how the warmings occurred. The warmings are attributed here to a component of the AMOC that has received relatively little attention—the upshifts of the AMOC's ...

Sea Ice Response to Orbital Forcing in Idealized Climate Model Experiments
Abstract The Earth's glacial cycles are influenced by variations in its orbital parameters, particularly obliquity, precession, and eccentricity. These variations alter solar radiation distribution, impacting climate dynamics and sea ice formation. The effects of obliquity and eccentricity‐modulated precession on sea ice area and thickness are analyzed

Glacial Cycles and Milankovitch Forcing
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 ...

ABSTRACT An investigation of allogenic forcings on shallow‐marine strata of the Miocene–Pliocene Kueichulin Formation, Taiwan Western Foreland Basin, reveals that shifts in palaeoenvironments were strongly controlled by: (1) orogenesis and basin subsidence, (2) precession‐driven hydroclimate and (3) obliquity‐driven atmospheric and ocean circulation ...

Abstract While orbital forcing‐induced weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) potentially facilitated glacial initiation during the Quaternary glacial‐interglacial cycles, this mechanism has remained to be confirmed by atmosphere‐ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs).

Abstract Understanding how alluvial stratigraphy responds to sediment supply perturbations is critical for interpreting past environmental changes from the sedimentary record, characterizing subsurface reservoirs, and forecasting future landscape evolution. However, identifying and quantifying sediment supply signals preserved in the rock record remain

Uniformity of the upper Famennian Milankovitch cycle in China
Research on chemo-biostratigraphy reveals that the periodic fluctuation of Ce/La ratios in carbonate sequence may reflect Milankovitch 100 ka eccentricity cyclicity. The Ce/La curve of the upper Famennian of Huangmao (Guangxi) may be well correlated to that of Muhua (Guizhou) and of Mid-Tarim (Xinjiang).

Late Quaternary record of 100 ka depositional cycles on the Larache shelf (NW Morocco)
This study examines the stratigraphic architecture of the Upper Pleistocene on the Larache margin, NW Moroccan Atlantic, focusing on the impact of glacio-eustatic cycles. Utilizing seismic analysis, we identified four major seismic sequences (UD, UC, UB,
