The Pliocene epoch, which lasted from 5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago, was a consequential time in Earth's history. The ...

These paleotemperature estimates are inferred from geochemical indicators analyzed on microfossils extracted from deep-sea sediments, which are also known as paleoclimate proxies. Before ...

In the field of paleoclimatology, our overarching objective is to use the geologic record to understand how Earth’s climate system operates. Paleoceanography may focus on the role of the oceans in ...

and on using isotopic tracers in the ocean to improve model-data comparisons and provide dynamical insights for paleoclimate. May 2021: Graduation - Abigail Smith, Alexandra Jahn, Patricia ...
