Climate Response to Orbital Forcing Across the Oligocene-Miocene Boundary
Spectral analyses of an uninterrupted 5.5-million-year (My)–long chronology of late Oligocene–early Miocene climate and ocean carbon chemistry from two deep-sea cores recovered ...
Filtering of Milankovitch Cycles by Earth's Geography
Abstract Earth's land-sea distribution modifies the temperature response to orbitally induced perturbations of the seasonal insolation. We examine this modification in the frequ...
Abrupt Climate Change and Transient Climates during the Paleogene: A Marine Perspective
Detailed investigations of high latitude sequences recently collected by the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) indicate that periods of rapid climate change often culminated in brief...
Sensitivity of Eurasian Climate to Surface Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau
Experiments with climate models are used to illustrate how earth's climate could be expected to change if surface uplift occurred. The experiments contrast two climate simulatio...
Astronomical calibration of Oligocene--Miocene time
Lithological cyclicity was observed aboard the JOIDES RESOLUTION in sediment sequences recovered from the Ceara Rise during ODP Leg 154. Shipboard work led to the conclusion tha...
