Journal ArticleDOI

Subtropical Arctic Ocean temperatures during the Palaeocene/Eocene thermal maximum

TL;DR: It is shown that sea surface temperatures near the North Pole increased from ∼18 °C to over 23‬°C during this event, which suggests that higher-than-modern greenhouse gas concentrations must have operated in conjunction with other feedback mechanisms—perhaps polar stratospheric clouds or hurricane-induced ocean mixing—to amplify early Palaeogene polar temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cenozoic palaeoenvironment of the Arctic Ocean.

TL;DR: This record of the Neogene reveals cooling of the Arctic that was synchronous with the expansion of Greenland ice and East Antarctic ice and supporting arguments for bipolar symmetry in climate change.
Journal Article

Morphological deformities of benthic foraminiferal tests in response to pollution by heavy metals; implications for pollution monitoring

TL;DR: Test deformities of benthic foraminifera appear to be sensitive in situ monitors of marine pollution by heavy metals, however, the biochemical and crystallographic mechanisms controlling the development of test deformities remain to be studied by culture experiments under controlled conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cretaceous-Tertiary biotic transition

TL;DR: The current state of the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) biostratigraphical record is reviewed for most major fossil clades, including: calcareous nannoplankton, dinoflagellates, diatoms, radiolaria, foraminifera, ostracodes, scleractinian corals, bryozoans, brachio-pods, molluscs, echinoderms, fish, amphibians, reptiles and terrestrial plants as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plate reorganization: a cause of rapid late Neogene subsidence and sedimentation around the North Atlantic?

TL;DR: Subsidence analysis of wells in the central North Sea and Labrador-Grand Banks and the West Greenland, Scotian shelf and United States Atlantic margin shows distinct quantitative stratigraphic correlation patterns of circum North Atlantic sites as discussed by the authors.
