A better-ventilated ocean triggered by Late Cretaceous changes in continental configuration
Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) are large-scale events of oxygen depletion in the deep ocean that happened during pre-Cenozoic periods of extreme warmth. Here, to assess the role of major continental configuration changes occurring during the Late Cretaceous on oceanic circulation modes, which in turn influence the oxygenation level of the deep ocean, we use a coupled ocean atmosphere climate mode...
متن کاملMountain Building Triggered Late Cretaceous North American Megaherbivore Dinosaur Radiation
Prior studies of Mesozoic biodiversity document a diversity peak for dinosaur species in the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, yet have failed to provide explicit causal mechanisms. We provide evidence that a marked increase in North American dinosaur biodiversity can be attributed to dynamic orogenic episodes within the Western Interior Basin (WIB). Detailed fossil occurrences document a...
متن کاملLate Cretaceous Ocean: Coupled Simulations with the NCAR CSM
Deep ocean circulation may be a significant factor in determining climate. Here, we describe two long, fully coupled atmosphere-ocean simulations with the NCAR Climate System Model (CSM) for the late Cretaceous (80 Ma). Our results suggest that higher levels of atmospheric CO2 and the altered paleogeography of the late Cretaceous resulted in a surface ocean state temperature, salinity, and circ...
