Peak glacial <sup>14</sup> C ventilation ages suggest major draw-down of carbon into the abyssal ocean
Abstract. Ice core records demonstrate a glacial-interglacial atmospheric CO2 increase of ~ 100 ppm. A transfer of ~ 530 Gt C is required to produce the deglacial rise of carbon...
Climate Response to Orbital Forcing Across the Oligocene-Miocene Boundary
Spectral analyses of an uninterrupted 5.5-million-year (My)–long chronology of late Oligocene–early Miocene climate and ocean carbon chemistry from two deep-sea cores recovered ...
GEOCARB II; a revised model of atmospheric CO 2 over Phanerozoic time
Revision of the GEOCARB model (Berner, 1991, 1994) for paleolevels of atmospheric CO2, has been made with emphasis on factors affecting CO2 uptake by continental weathering. Thi...
Trends, Rhythms, and Aberrations in Global Climate 65 Ma to Present
Since 65 million years ago (Ma), Earth's climate has undergone a significant and complex evolution, the finer details of which are now coming to light through investigations of ...
Mechanisms of Climate Warming at the End of the Paleocene
An abrupt episode of global warming marked the end of the Paleocene epoch. Oxygen and carbon isotope records from two widely separated sites support the notion that degassing of...
