Eccentricity Controls the Magnitude and Periodicity of Pleistocene Glacial Cycles

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 3, March 2026.
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 ...

Uniformity of the upper Famennian Milankovitch cycle in China

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2000
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).

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

Rivista 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 ...

Stepwise Glacial Inception and Prolonged Southern Ocean CO2 Outgassing Linked With Marine Isotope Stage 11

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
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 ...

Glacial Cycles and Milankovitch Forcing

, 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 ...

Astronomical Time Scale of the Late Pleistocene in the Northern South China Sea Based on Carbonate Deposition Record

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
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

Scientific Reports, 2020
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 ...

The regional evolution of a dryland fluvio‐aeolian and lacustrine succession in response to allocyclic forcing: insights from the Early Permian Cutler Group, Utah, USA

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 297-354, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Stochastic Resonance Elucidates the Emergence and Periodicity Transition of Glacial Cycles

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 1, 16 January 2026.
Abstract Glacial cycles emerged with a 41‐kyr period after the Pliocene and later intensified with a 100‐kyr period in the mid‐Pleistocene, which were attributed to Earth's orbital variations. However, no significant changes in the orbital forcing were found at the two transitions, and the forcing was too small to drive these cycles. Here, a stochastic

Research Status and Development Direction of Well Log Cyclostratigraphy

Cejing jishu
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
