The Paleo-Yangtze basin connected the Sichuan, Xichang and Chuxiong basins during the Late Mesozoic to Early Cenozoic. The Paleo-Yangtze basin subsequently fragmented later in...

In ocean waters, anaerobic microbial respiration should be confined to the anoxic waters found in coastal regions and tropical oxygen minimum zones, where it is energetically...

During the late Miocene epoch, about seven million years ago, large areas of the continents experienced drying, enhanced seasonality, and a restructuring of terrestrial plant...

Copper mineralization at the Nallakonda deposit, copper-lead mineralization at the Dhukonda deposit and lead mineralization at the Bandalamottu deposit constitutes the...

Diepkloof Rock Shelter (DRS) represents a site of major interest for reconstructing early human behaviours during the Middle Stone Age (MSA). Rock shelters such as DRS also...

The mean state and variability of the tropical Pacific is influenced by the depth of the thermocline. During the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 years ago), the zonal sea surface...

After glacial terminations, large amounts of heat and salt were transferred from low to high latitudes, which is a crucial phenomenon for the reestablishment of the Atlantic...

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are bacterial membrane lipids, ubiquitously present in soils and peat bogs, as well as in rivers, lakes and lake...

The ice shelf water (ISW) found in the Filchner Trough, located in the southern Weddell Sea, Antarctica, is climatically important; it descends into the deep Weddell Sea...

The southern Tuaheni Landslide Complex (TLC) at the Hikurangi subduction margin displays distinctive morphological features along its distribution over the Tuaheni slope...

A climatically induced acceleration in ocean‐driven melting of Antarctic ice shelves would have consequences for both the discharge of continental ice into the ocean and thus...

Iron-rich sediments similar to those forming on other active mid-oceanic ridges have been found in the Median Valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge near 45 °N. The sediments are...

This is the biomarker (GDGT) data measured in a global set of peatlands. One dataset provides the average per peatland. The second dataset (individual peats) contains the data...

We present dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, particulate organic matter (POM) composition (d13C, d15N, D14C, N/C), and particulate glycerol dialkyl glycerol...

Microbial production of methane is an important terminal metabolic process during organic matter degradation in marine sediments. It is generally acknowledged that...

This sample collection presents a database that integrates surficial sediment samples collected and analysed for textural characterization within the frame of a series of...

Long chain n-alkanes are terrestrial higher plant biomarkers used to reconstruct continental paleoclimatic and paleohydrological conditions with marine sedimentary archives....

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane lipids of unknown bacteria that are ubiquitous in soil and peat. Two indices based on the distribution of...

Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) in river fan sediments have been used successfully to reconstruct mean annual air temperature (MAAT) and soil pH of the...

Relationships among Th and Ra isotopes in nodule, sediment and water phases at MANOP Site S establish the most likely source for Th in the nodules, the frequency of nodule...
