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
The chemical composition of subducting sediment and its consequences for the crust and mantle
Terry Plank,Charles H. Langmuir +1 more
TL;DR: This article evaluated subducting sediments on a global basis in order to better define their chemical systematics and to determine both regional and global average compositions, and then used these compositions to assess the importance of sediments to arc volcanism and crust-mantle recycling, and to re-evaluate the chemical composition of the continental crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
An analysis of the variation of ocean floor bathymetry and heat flow with age
Barry Parsons,John G. Sclater +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple cooling model and the plate model were proposed to account for the variation in depth and heat flow with increasing age of the ocean floor. But the results were limited to the North Pacific and North Atlantic basins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preservation of elemental and isotopic source identification of sedimentary organic matter
TL;DR: The amount and type of organic matter in the sediments of lakes and oceans contribute to their paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological records as discussed by the authors, but only a small fraction of the initial aquatic organic matter survives destruction and alteration during sinking and sedimentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic geochemical indicators of palaeoenvironmental conditions of sedimentation
TL;DR: In this article, the role of oxic and anoxic sedimentary environments is evaluated using a combination of geochemical parameters such as lipid composition, sulphur and organic pigments.
