Abstract Marine carbonate carbon isotopes (δ13C), over orbital to multi‐million‐year timescales, provide critical insight into the carbon cycle connecting Earth's atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on deep time carbon cycle dynamics remains poorly constrained.

Abstract The Laurasian Seaway comprises a N‐S oriented trans‐Pangaean corridor linking Tethys to the Boreal Sea during the Jurassic, and direction of water flow has been the subject of considerable debate. The Llanbedr (Mochras Farm) borehole, Cardigan Bay Basin, Wales, is a uniquely informative record that comprises an expanded deep‐marine silty ...

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

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.

Abstract Peatlands are important global carbon stores, but it is unclear whether they will continue as carbon sinks under future climates, or degrade, leaking carbon to the atmosphere. We used the DigiBog peatland development model to explore this question for a blanket peatland in Glen Affric, Scotland, investigating how topography and climate have ...

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 ...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century
Abstract The top‐of‐atmosphere (TOA) albedo controls the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth and is influenced by the reflectivity of both the atmosphere and surface. With considerable changes in land use over the past few decades it is reasonable to question whether a perturbed surface albedo has influenced TOA albedo over the corresponding ...

China has recently faced significant difficulties in the exploitation of its shale oil and gas resources. An essential geological obstacle preventing the breakthrough of Chinese shale oil exploration is the precise identification of productive oil and ...
