ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

Soil modulation of Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles
Sinusoidal Milankovitch orbital variations do not match the sawtooth pattern of descent into glaciation followed by abrupt termination to greenhouse interglacials seen in records of marine shale, speleothems, and ice cores.

A rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy study was conducted on the Carboniferous Mauch Chunk Formation red beds at Pottsville, Pennsylvania to determine if Milankovitch climate forcing could be detected in these terrestrial, fluvial deposits with hematite as ...

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.

Temperature response of Mars to Milankovitch cycles [PDF]
On Mars annual mean surface temperature near ±60° latitude varies predominately with precession and is not closely related to annual mean insolation. Based on the last few million years of orbital history, the precession cycle dominates in a narrow latitude range 54°–65°, in which the margins of the two ice‐rich permafrost layers in each hemisphere ...

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.

A Solar-luminosity Model and Climate [PDF]
Although the mechanisms of climatic change are not completely understood, the potential causes include changes in the Sun's luminosity. Solar activity in the form of sunspots, flares, proton events, and radiation fluctuations has displayed periodic ...

Evolution of Pliocene climate cyclicity at Hole 806B (5-2 Ma); oxygen isotope record [PDF]
A detailed Pliocene oxygen isotope record from the Ontong Java Plateau, based on measurements of the surface-dwelling planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer, was produced for the period from 5 to 2 Ma. The record documents major long and short-

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,
