Conference Paper

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) ~56 million years ago, provides one of the best geological analogues for investigating how marine oxygen levels respond to rapid global warming and massive perturbations to the global carbon cycle. Various studies on PETM shelf sections have documented the deposition of an extensive organic-rich sapropel...
Preprint
Data on marine microfossil assemblage composition has multiple applications. Initially, it was primarily used for (chrono)stratigraphy and palaeoecology, but these data are now also widely used to study evolutionary and ecological processes, such as past biodiversity and its links with environmental dynamics, or to provide a basis for conservation...

Paleotemperature proxy data form the cornerstone of paleoclimate research and are integral to understanding the evolution of the Earth system across the Phanerozoic Eon. Here, we present PhanSST, a database containing over 150,000 data points from five proxy systems that can be used to estimate past sea surface temperature. The geochemical data hav...
