Anomalously high rates of continental weathering have frequently been proposed as a key stimulus for the development of widespread marine anoxia during a number of Late Devonian environmental and biospheric crises, which included a major mass extinct...

Mediterranean isolation preconditioning the Earth System for late Miocene climate cooling (2019)
Journal Article
Capella, W., Flecker, R., Hernández-Molina, F. J., Simon, D., Meijer, P. T., Rogerson, M., …Krijgsman, W. (in press). Mediterranean isolation preconditioning the Earth System for late Miocene climate cooling. Scientific reports, 9, Article 3795. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-40208-2

© 2019, The Author(s). A global Neogene cooling trend culminated ~7 million years ago with the onset of Greenland glaciation. Increased ocean-atmosphere interaction and low- to high-latitude circulation are thought to be key factors in reorganizing...

Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK (2019)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., & Dawn, S. J. (2019). Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 521, 114-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.02.014

During the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (OAE) considerable environmental changes occurred that were associated with global warming, perturbations to the C-cycle and ocean deoxygenation which resulted in a mass extinction of marine fauna. Recovery of... Read More about Recovery of benthic communities following the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event in the Cleveland Basin, UK.

Mercury chemostratigraphy across the Cambrian Series 2 – Series 3 boundary: evidence for increased volcanic activity coincident with extinction? (2019)

An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time? (2019)
Journal Article
Caswell, B. A., Frid, C. L., & Borja, A. (2019). An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time?. Marine pollution bulletin, 140, 472-484. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.01.068

Increasingly environmental management seeks to limit the impacts of human activities on ecosystems relative to some ‘reference’ condition, which is often the presumed pre-impacted state, however such information is limited. We explore how marine ecos... Read More about An ecological status indicator for all time: Are AMBI and M-AMBI effective indicators of change in deep time?.

A window into Africa’s past hydroclimates: The sisal_v1 database contribution (2019)
Journal Article

Africa spans the hemispheres from temperate region to temperate region and has a long history of hominin evolution. Although the number of Quaternary palaeoclimatic records from the continent is increasing, much of the history of spatial and temporal...
