A new high-resolution chronology for the late Maastrichtian warming event: establishing robust temporal links with the onset of Deccan volcanism (2017)
Journal Article
Barnet, J. S., Littler, K., Kroon, D., Leng, M. J., Westerhold, T., Röhl, U., & Zachos, J. C. (in press). A new high-resolution chronology for the late Maastrichtian warming event: establishing robust temporal links with the onset of Deccan volcanism. Geology, https://doi.org/10.1130/G39771.1

The late Maastrichtian warming event was defined by a global temperature increase of ∼2.5–5 °C that occurred ∼150–300 k.y. before the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction. This transient warming event has traditionally been associated with a m...

Understanding the response of sensitive Arctic and subarctic landscapes to climate change is essential to determine the risks of ongoing and projected climate warming. However, these responses will not be uniform in terms of timing and magnitude acro...

Post-mortem oxygen isotope exchange within cultured diatom silica (2017)
Journal Article
Tyler, J. J., Sloane, H. J., Rickaby, R. E., Cox, E. J., & Leng, M. J. (2017). Post-mortem oxygen isotope exchange within cultured diatom silica. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 31(20), 1749-1760. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.7954

Rationale

Potential post-mortem alteration to the oxygen isotope composition of biogenic silica is critical to the validity of palaeoclimate reconstructions based on oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O values) from sedimentary silica. We calculate the deg... Read More about Post-mortem oxygen isotope exchange within cultured diatom silica.
