Cenozoic Time Constraints on the Evolution of a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol Toposequence, Northwest Amazon Basin, Brazil

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
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

open access: yesGeoderma
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.

Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy of the Carboniferous Mauch Chunk Formation, Pottsville, PA, United States

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2019
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 ...

Recoverability and Irreversible Information Loss in Physical Inference: Lessons From Quantum Measurement and Climate Reanalysis

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.

On the use of simple dynamical systems for climate predictions: A Bayesian prediction of the next glacial inception

open access: yes, 2009
Over the last few decades, climate scientists have devoted much effort to the development of large numerical models of the atmosphere and the ocean.

Temperature response of Mars to Milankovitch cycles [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2008
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 ...

High Geomagnetic Reversal Frequency During the Middle to Late Ediacaran (∼570 Ma) Constrained by Integrated Magneto‐ and Cyclostratigraphy

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
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]

open access: yes, 1990
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]

open access: yes, 1993
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-

Palaeoenvironmental evolution of the Baltic Sea basin during the Last Interglacial (Eemian, Mikulino stages)—a review

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 282-307, April 2026.
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,
