Rapid grain boundary diffusion in foraminifera tests biases paleotemperature records [PDF]
The oxygen isotopic compositions of fossil foraminifera tests constitute a continuous proxy record of deep-ocean and sea-surface temperatures spanning the last 120 million years.

Carbon and oxygen isotope characteristics of carbonate rocks in the Mesoproterozoic Jixian System of the Ordos Basin and their implications [PDF]
The paleoenvironment of Jixian carbonate rocks in the Mesoproterozoic Ordos Basin is studied by carbon and oxygen isotope analyses, diagenetic environment analysis, and the restoration of paleosalinity and paleotemperature.

Ocean temperatures through the Phanerozoic reassessed [PDF]
The oxygen isotope compositions of carbonate and phosphatic fossils hold the key to understanding Earth-system evolution during the last 500 million years. Unfortunately, the validity and interpretation of this record remain unsettled.

New genomic insights into long-chain alkenone biosynthesis by the coccolithophorid marine alga Gephyrocapsa huxleyi [PDF]
Background Gephyrocapsa huxleyi is a coccolithophoric haptophyte widespread across most marine ecosystems that plays an important role in the carbon cycle. G.

Environmental DNA sheds new insight on molecular adaptation of foraminifera to temperature from laboratory‐controlled culture experiment [PDF]
Foraminifera is the most important temperature proxy of the ocean on long time scales. However, the absence of temperature‐controlled experiments at different water depths hinders the advancement of paleotemperature reconstruction with foraminifera from ...

Growing season thermal climate reconstructed at six pine stands in northern Lapland [PDF]
At the northern coniferous timberline of the boreal region, growing season temperature is generally the major environmental factor limiting the growth processes of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Variations in annual ring-widths of pines can be related
