Eustasy has commonly been invoked to explain peritidal carbonate cyclicity, but is difficult to explain cycles formed in a greenhouse climate when eustasy is minimal.

Testing the impact of stratigraphic uncertainty on spectral analyses of sedimentary series [PDF]
Spectral analysis is a key tool for identifying periodic patterns in sedimentary sequences, including astronomically related orbital signals. While most spectral analysis methods require equally spaced samples, this condition is rarely achieved either in

Dynamics between order and chaos in conceptual models of glacial cycles
The dynamics of glacial cycles is studied in terms of the dynamical systems theory. We explore the dependence of the climate state on the phase of astronomical forcing by examining five conceptual models of glacial cycles proposed in the literature.

Eccentricity Controls the Magnitude and Periodicity of Pleistocene Glacial Cycles
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 ...

The Mid-Pleistocene Transition induced by delayed feedback and bistability [PDF]
The Mid-Pleistocene Transition, the shift from 41 kyr to 100 kyr glacial-interglacial cycles that occurred roughly 1 Myr ago, is often considered as a change in internal climate dynamics.

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 ...

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.

A method for the division of the conglomerate depositional cycle under Milankovitch cycles [PDF]
The conglomerate layer at the upper section of the 4th member of the Shahejie formation of the Yongan district at the Donying depression is a well-developed sedimentation of several periods. It lacks stable muddy layers and sophisticated classification of the sedimentation periods and the proportion of sedimentary layering in each period has long been ...

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.
