Late Cenozoic moisture history of East Africa.
Lake sediments in 10 Ethiopian, Kenyan, and Tanzanian rift basins suggest that there were three humid periods at 2.7 to 2.5 million years ago (Ma), 1.9 to 1.7 Ma, and 1.1 to 0.9 Ma, superimposed on the longer-term aridification of East Africa. These humid periods correlate with increased aridity in northwest and northeast Africa and with substantial global climate transitions. These episodes co...
متن کاملLate Cenozoic History of the Genus Micromys (Mammalia, Rodentia) in Central Europe
Molecular phylogeography suggests that Micromys minutus, the sole extant species of the genus, colonized its extensive range quite recently, during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene period. Rich Pliocene and Pleistocene fossil records both from Europe and China suggest rather continuous and gradual in situ phenotype rearrangements from the Pliocene to the Recent periods. To elucidate the discrepanc...
متن کاملSpecial Section: Late Cenozoic Fluvial Deposits
Mapping in the Homs region of Syria has revealed a hitherto unrecognized staircase of at least 12 gravel terraces of the upper Orontes River. The terrace gravels overlie Pliocene lacustrine marl and have been calcareously cemented into conglomerates, sometimes interbedded with cemented fine-grained alluvium. A tentative dating scheme, based on modelling the regional-scale surface uplift that ha...
متن کاملEvolutionary History of Atmospheric CO2 during the Late Cenozoic from Fossilized Metasequoia Needles
The change in ancient atmospheric CO2 concentrations provides important clues for understanding the relationship between the atmospheric CO2 concentration and global temperature. However, the lack of CO2 evolution curves estimated from a single terrestrial proxy prevents the understanding of climatic and environmental impacts due to variations in data. Thus, based on the stomatal index of fossi...
متن کاملConclusion: Reconstructing and Modelling Past Oceans Paleoceanography of the Late Cenozoic (Elsevier) Volume 1: Methods in Late Cenozoic Paleoceanography
The science of reconstructing past climates has evolved rapidly over the past three decades. Having started as a subdiscipline of geology and geochemistry [Imbrie and Imbrie, 1979], it is today an interdisciplinary research field which unifies a large international scientific community. Some of the most innovative and suprising research in this field has important implications for future climat...
