Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Geophysical Union. It publishes original research articles dealing with all aspects of understanding and reconstructing Earth's past climate and environments from the Precambrian to modern analogs. [ 1 ]
Paleoceanography is the study of the history of the oceans in the ... Paleoceanographic research is also intimately tied to paleoclimatology. Source and methods of ...
Paleoclimatology (British spelling, palaeoclimatology) is the scientific study of climates predating the invention of meteorological instruments, when no direct measurement data were available. [1] As instrumental records only span a tiny part of Earth's history , the reconstruction of ancient climate is important to understand natural ...
The Holocene Climate Optimum (HCO) was a warm period in the first half of the Holocene epoch, that occurred in the interval roughly 9,500 to 5,500 years BP, [1] with a thermal maximum around 8000 years BP.
The most successful applications of isotope paleoclimatology have been the study of foraminifera from deep-sea sediments. For instance, Shackleton and Kennett (1975) have established the Cenozoic paleotemperature history based on analyzing oxygen isotope composition of both planktonic and benthic foraminifera in the Antarctic region.

R. Timothy Patterson is a Canadian professor of geology, Chairman of the Department of Earth Sciences [1] at Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and a researcher with specialization in paleolimnology, paleoceanography, and paleoclimatology.
De Menocal uses geochemical analyses of marine sediments to investigate past changes in ocean circulation and terrestrial climates. His goal is to understand how and why past climates have changed, with a specific interest in placing contemporary climate change trends within the context of climate changes during the prehistoric past.
The PETM and ETM-2 are thought to have a similar generic origin, [4] [8] [5] although this idea remains at the edge of current research. During both events, a tremendous amount of 13 C-depleted carbon rapidly entered the ocean and atmosphere.
