Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Constraints on the Numerical Age of the Paleocene-Eocene Boundary [PDF]
Here we present combined radio-isotopic dating (U-Pb zircon) and cyclostratigraphic analysis of the carbon isotope excursion at the Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) boundary in Spitsbergen, to determine the numerical age of the boundary.

Could changing ocean circulation have destabilized methane hydrate at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary? [PDF]
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ~55 Ma), marine and terrestrial carbon isotope values exhibit a negative shift of at least 2.5‰, indicative of massive destabilization of marine methane hydrates, releasing ~1100 gigatonnes of methane ...

Climate model and proxy data constraints on ocean warming across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]
Constraining the greenhouse gas forcing, climatic warming and estimates of climate sensitivity across ancient large transient warming events is a major challenge to the palaeoclimate research community.

Scaled biotic disruption during early Eocene global warming events [PDF]
Late Paleocene and early Eocene hyperthermals are transient warming events associated with massive perturbations of the global carbon cycle, and are considered partial analogues for current anthropogenic climate change.
