Journal ArticleDOI
Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present
TL;DR: This work focuses primarily on the periodic and anomalous components of variability over the early portion of this era, as constrained by the latest generation of deep-sea isotope records.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid acidification of the ocean during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum.

TL;DR: Geochemical data from five new South Atlantic deep-sea sections indicate that a large mass of carbon dissolved in the ocean at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary and that permanent sequestration of this carbon occurred through silicate weathering feedback.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Geological Record of Ocean Acidification

Foster,Branwen Williams +23 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astronomical pacing of late Palaeocene to early Eocene global warming events
Lucas Joost Lourens,Appy Sluijs,Dick Kroon,James C Zachos,Ellen Thomas,Ellen Thomas,Ursula Röhl,Julie Bowles,Isabella Raffi +8 more
TL;DR: A distinct carbonate-poor red clay layer in deep-sea cores from Walvis ridge is reported, which is term the Elmo horizon, which has similar geochemical and biotic characteristics as the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum, but of smaller magnitude, suggesting that it represents a second global thermal maximum.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter Seven Paleoceanographical Proxies Based on Deep-Sea Benthic Foraminiferal Assemblage Characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the paleoceanographic proxies based on deep-sea benthic foraminiferal assemblage characteristics, and present the following three proxy relationships that are promising: those between BFR faunas and BFR oxygenation, export productivity, and deep sea water mass characteristics.
