The evolutionary dynamics of the ecoregions of southern South America and the species that inhabit them have been poorly studied,and few biogeographic hypotheses have been proposed and tested.Quaternary climatic oscil...

An integrated study of biostratigraphy,microfacies,and stable carbon isotope stratigraphy was carried out on the late Famennian–early Asselian carbonates of the Long’an section in Guangxi,South China.Stable carbon i...
The passage of our Solar System through the spiral arms has been implicated as a contributor to global environmental perturbations.The suggestion of a consistent structure within the arms,informed by density wave theo...
Silicified and phosphatized microfossils preserved in the Ediacaran Doushantuo Formation in South China provide key evidence for the early radiation of eukaryotes after the Neoproterozoic global glaciations.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has developed into a vast fortress-like structure that has recently presented a barrier limiting the egress of moisture-bearing air masses. Lower sea levels also affected the climate. This pa...

The onset of Quaternary glaciations is a critical event in the climate and tectonic history of the Tibetan Plateau.The Shishapangma Glaciation,defined based on the till deposit from the northern slopes of Mt.Shishapan...
The glacial morphology of southern South American presents invaluable evidence to reconstruct former glacier behaviour and its relation to climate and environmental changes. However, there are still spatial and tempor...
The European Alps is the birthplace of glaciology and in particular Quaternary glaciology and for over one hundred years has been a model region for studying mountain glaciations. In this paper, we review the achievem...

This paper compiles lithostratigraphic and geochronological data obtained for the Palaeoproterozoic glacial diamictite-bearing successions,and thereby provides insights into understanding the geological processes caus...
The climate of the Earth has been oscillating between mega warm periods and mega cold periods for 3,000 Ma. Each mega cold period included alternating major warm and cold events. The present mega cold period commenced...
