Marine communities migrated to Antarctica during the Earth's warmest period in 66 million years long before a mass-extinction event.
In what is an intriguing mix of past and future, an international team of researchers, including some from the University of Bonn, has stumbled upon a surprising window to the past in Kourou in French Guiana. In the clay ...
Marine anoxia is characterized by the oceans being severely depleted in dissolved oxygen, making them toxic and thus having devastating impacts on the organisms inhabiting them. One such event, known as Oceanic Anoxic Event ...
Dr. Dewi Langlet, a scientist at the Evolution, Cell Biology and Symbiosis Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), studies foraminifera, single-cell organisms with shells made of calcium carbonate. ...
Tiny fossils in marine sediments verify that climate models provide accurate calculations of average ocean temperatures during the last glacial maximum around 20,000 years ago, but that the spatial distribution of simulated ...
Adriane Lam's research allows scientists to more accurately predict future climate and zoological changes as the Earth continues to warm.
Foraminifera are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the oceans. Their hard shells, made of calcium carbonate, can withstand the test of time and their fossils reveal a lot about Earth's history, including past climates ...
In the annals of Earth's history, I've stumbled upon a gripping narrative of climate fluctuations and the captivating exchange of carbon. Recent research, which made headlines in the scientific journal Global and Planetary ...
A subpolar species associated with Atlantic water expanded far into the Arctic Ocean during the Last Interglacial, analysis of microfossil content of sediment cores reveals. This implies that summers in the Arctic were ice ...
Two groups in the UPV/EHU's Department of Geology have recently each published papers that demonstrate the versatility of analyzing the microfauna present in marine sediments.
