Download or read book Global Palaeoclimate of the Late Cenozoic written by V.A. Zubakov and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1990-03-20 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed description of the history and chronology of global climate based on event-signal stratigraphy. The history of global climate is described for the last fifty million years with the description for the last one million years in detail. Climatostratigraphic sequences of twelve key regions are taken as a basis, eight of them situated in the USSR territories. Chronology of climatic events of the Pleistocene, Pliocene and Miocene is developed based on palaeomagnetic and radiometric data. The authors' version of its correlation with oxygene-isotope scales of deep-sea sediments is given. Theoretical problems of climatic stratigraphy and palaeoclimatology are discussed, in particular, the causes of climatic change. The Northern Hemisphere palaeoclimatic reconstructions are made for the Holocene, Eemian and Pliocene temperature optima, considered as possible palaeoanalogues of climate of the 21st Century. The book is intended primarily for a wide circle of scientific workers, palaeoclimatologists and palaeogeographers, but will also interest geologists, biologists, palaeomagnetologists and archaeologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by highly qualified Argentine scientists and scholars, this book focuses on the uninterrupted geological and paleontological record of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego since the Miocene-Pliocene boundary to the arrival of man and modern times. This region is an outstanding area for research, with significant interest at the international level. It provides an updated overview of the scientific work in all related fields with a strong paleoclimatic approach. Patagonia has also been a sort of a "paleoclimatic bridge" between the Antarctic Peninsula and the more northerly land masses, since the final opening of the Drake Passage in the middle Miocene. Timely and comprehensive, The Late Cenozoic of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego is the only monograph book written in English.* One-stop resource for paleontological information of the Late Cenozoic of Patagonia* Covers 5 million years in the uninterrupted history of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego* Comprehensive coverage of the region written by highly qualified Argentine scientists and scholars
Download or read book Pre Mesozoic Ice Ages written by John C. Crowell and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient ice ages are revealed by distinctive stratal facies that tell us much about the times of coolness and how the climate system works. Several strong ice ages were recorded in the late Paleozic time and during transitions from the Devonian in to the Carboniferous and from the Ordovician in to the Silurian. In Precambrian time, several are documented for both the late and early Proterozoic age. This title explores findings on the pre-Mesozoic ice ages, examining climate in relation to tectonobiogeochemical activities rooted in the changing earth-air-ocean system.

Book excerpt: A systematic analysis of landforms of the late Cenzoic Era that fully covers the constructional processes of tectonism and volcanism and the erosional processes of weathering, flurial erosion, glaciers, winds, and waves. It explains each set of processes and the resulting landforms in a separate chapter to provide a comprehensive, nonmathematical overview of the subject. Coverage of rock weathering includes more discussion of soils, soil formation, and soils chronosequences, which tell about the evolution of the present landscape. A chapter on The Last Glacial-Interglacial Cycle,¿ stresses the intensity of change during and since the last ice age when human civilization has risen, and appeals to readers to understand change as a normal factor of life on Earth.

Book excerpt: Ice Age Earth provides the first detailed review of global environmental change in the Late Quaternary. Significant geological and climatic events are analysed within a review of glacial and periglacial history. The melting history of the last ice sheets reveals that complex, dynamic and catastrophic change occurred, change which affected the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans and the stability of the Earth's crust.

This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume summarizes new developments in understanding the longest-lived icehouse period in Phanerozoic Earth history, the late Paleozoic ice age. Resolving the Late Paleozoic Ice Age in Time and Space provides summaries of existing and new data from the various Gondwanan continental relics, and also reviews stratigraphic successions from the paleotropical and temperate regions of Laurussia that preserve an indirect record of glaciation. It addresses the extent to which records of glaciation indicate protracted, long-term climatic austerity, as opposed to fluctuating, more dynamic climate, and provides new constraints on the timing of glaciation. Additionally, it tackles questions of synchroneity of glaciation across the various Gondwanan continental relics, and timing relationships between near-field and far-field records at greater levels of resolution than has been possible previously. Results point toward a dynamic icehouse regime that is comparable to the Cenozoic icehouse, and away from traditional interpretations of the late Paleozoic ice age as a single, protracted event that involved stable, long-lived ice centers."--Publisher's website.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of this dissertation are centered on understanding changes in Earth surface and climate systems through the use of geologic proxies as records of past changes in these systems. Specifically, this dissertation (1) establishes a new chronology for retreat of the Ross Sea sector of the West Antarctic Ice during the last deglaciation, (2) investigates the changes in the global climate system during the mid- Pleistocene transition, and (3) constrains the timing of surface uplift in Alaska, and the control that topography has on regional climate and the hydrologic cycle over the tectonic timescale. This dissertation establishes the timing of the last deglaciation of the Ross Sea Sector of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), addressing the question of whether grounded ice in the Ross Embayment deglaciated entirely in the Holocene or earlier. 10Be surface exposure dating of granitic glacial erratic boulders indicates that the onset of sustained retreat from the local Last Glacial Maximum started at 18.6 ± 1.1 ka, and that sustained retreat occurred into the middle Holocene. We attribute most of this retreat to temperature and radiative forcing of the ablation zone in McMurdo Sound with only the final stages of retreat possibly influenced by Holocene grounding line retreat. The mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) represents a transition from predominantly 40-kyr climate cycles to predominantly 100-kyr cycles in the absence of any change in orbital forcing. Here I combine all existing records of SST (n=7) and [delta]13C (n=17) that span the entirety of the last 2 Ma and use principal component analysis to detect the shared global signal of these records across the MPT. I also develop stacks of ice volume, ocean basin-scale [delta]13C gradients and CO2 reconstructions in an attempt to characterize the interaction between deep ocean circulation and climate change across the MPT. I find that the characteristic change in cyclicity of the MPT appears in SST, [delta]13C and ice-volume reconstructions. I interpret marine isotope stage (MIS) 23 (~900 ka) as a skipped interglacial that led to MIS 25- 21 as being the first 100-kyr period, potentially initiating the 100-kyr cycle during the rest of the Pleistocene. I also find that the largest global negative [delta]13C excursion in the Pleistocene occurred during the glacial periods MIS 24 and MIS 22. This excursion is likely related to a mean shift to a reduced glacial-period AMOC across the MPT that is observed in multiple AMOC strength reconstructions, and that I interpret as a key component of the MPT. The topography of southern Alaska has been shown to have likely experienced rapid exhumation during the early Pliocene stating ~5-6 Ma. Using [delta]D measurements on OH- groups of clay minerals, I constrain the change in isotopic composition of paleo-meteoric water from the Miocene-Holocene in the interior of Alaska as a proxy for the surface uplift history of Alaskan topography via its control on the [delta]D signal of surface water. My results suggest that there was rapid surface uplift of the several mountain ranges encompassing southern Alaska during the period from ~6.5-3 Ma.
