TLDR
The permian world topography and climate has been reconstructed in this paper, showing that the last glaciation and deglaciation of the Laurentide ice sheet and its downwasting environment and climate of Sartan maximum and the late glacial in Siberia termination of the pleistocene and holocene changes in South America and other glaciated parts of the southern hemisphere.Abstract:
Part I The quarternary - the last glaciation and deglaciation: northern hemisphere (Laurentide) deglaciation - processes and responses of ice sheet/ocean interactions the last Scandinavian ice sheet and its down-wasting environment and climate of Sartan maximum and the late glacial in Siberia termination of the pleistocene and holocene changes in South America and other glaciated parts of the southern hemisphere. Part II The quarternary - macro-processes: sediment deformation beneath the Laurentide ice sheet megafloods and glaciation. Part III The permo-carboniferous - a paleographic reconstruction: Permian world topography and climate. Part IV The permo-carboniferous - the distribution and effect of the major glaciers of Gondwana glacial-postglacial transition in the late Paleozoic basins of southern South America a review of the permo-carboniferous glaciation in Africa transition from freezing to subtropical climates in the permo-carboniferous of Afro-Arabia and India Permian postglacial environments of the Australian Plate upper paleozoic glacial and postglacial deposits, central Transantarctic mountains, Antarctica some problems of the Permian (Asselian) glaciation and the subsequent climate in the Permian. Part V An older, precambrian glaciation - a comparative analysis: tectonic and glacio-eustatic controls on postglacial stratigraphy - proterozoic examples. Part IV quaternary and permo-carboniferous terrestrial weathering and organic deposits interpreting glacial climate from detrital minerals in sediments paleosols of the northern part of North America - their features and significance as indicators of past climates cold temperate peats and coals - their sedimentology and composition recent cold climate peats of central Canada and permo-carboniferous coals of Gondwana.read more

Lethally Hot Temperatures During the Early Triassic Greenhouse

TL;DR: It is shown that the end-Permian mass extinction coincided with a rapid temperature rise to exceptionally high values in the Early Triassic that were inimical to life in equatorial latitudes and suppressed ecosystem recovery.

TL;DR: High-precision geochronologic dating constrains probable causes of Earth's largest mass extinction and reveals that the extinction peak occurred just before 252.28 ± 0.08 million years ago, after a decline of 2 per mil (‰) in δ13C over 90,000 years, and coincided with a δ 13C excursion that is estimated to have lasted ≤20,000 Years.

TL;DR: Major restructuring of paleotropical flora in western Euramerica occurred in step with climate and pCO2 shifts, illustrating the biotic impact associated with past CO2-forced turnover to a permanent ice-free world.

Gondwana from top to base in space and time
TL;DR: Gondwana is reviewed from the unification of its several cratons in the Late Neoproterozoic, through its combination with Laurussia in the Carboniferous to form Pangea and up to its progressive fragmentation in the Mesozoic.

Stratigraphic imprint of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age in eastern Australia: a record of alternating glacial and nonglacial climate regime
Christopher R. Fielding,Tracy D. Frank,Lauren P. Birgenheier,Michael C. Rygel,Andrew Jones,John Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age comprised at least eight discrete glacial intervals (each 1-8 Ma in duration) separated by nonglacial intervals of comparable duration, and illustrate a pattern of increasing climatic austerity and increasingly widespread glacial ice from initial onset until an acme in the late Early Permian.
