TL;DR: This paper reviewed events exhibiting evidence for elevated atmospheric CO2, global warming, and ocean acidification over the past ~300 million years of Earth's history, some with contemporaneous extinction or evolutionary turnover among marine calcifiers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used 10 sediment cores and 40 core-top samples from the South China Sea (SCS) to obtain proxy records of past changes in East Asian monsoon climate on millennial to bidecadal time scales over the last 220,000 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, past sea surface temperature (SST) evolution in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean) during the last 50,000 years has been inferred from the study of C37 alkenones in International Marine Global Change Studies MD952043 core.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured boron isotopic compositions in a ∼300-year-old massive Porites coral from the southwestern Pacific and found large variations in pH over ∼50-year cycles that covary with the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation of ocean-atmosphere anomalies, suggesting that natural pH cycles can modulate the impact of ocean acidification on coral reef ecosystems.

TL;DR: In this article, past sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the northern and southern areas of the South China Sea have been reconstructed for the past 220 kyr using the UK37 alkenone index, and the SST profiles follow the glacial/interglacial pattern exhibiting differences between Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene that are 1° 3°C larger than those observed at the same latitudes in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
