Introduction to paleoclimate records -- Seafloor sediments -- Microfossils and biostratigraphy -- Paleomagnetism and magnetostratigraphy -- CO2 as a climate regulator during the phanerozoic and today -- The benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotope record of cenozoic climate change -- Climate models and regional climate change -- Climate cycles -- The paleocene eocene thermal maximum (PETM) event -- Glaciation of antarctica: the Oi1 event -- Antarctica and neogene global climate change -- Interpreting antarctic sediment cores: a record of dynamic neogene climate -- Pliocene warmth: are we seeing our future? -- Northern hemisphere glaciation. "The context for understanding global climate change today lies in the records of Earth's past. This is demonstrated by decades of paleoclimate research by scientists in organizations such as the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL), and many others. The purpose of this book is to put key data and published case studies of past climate change at your fingertips, so that you can experience the nature of paleoclimate reconstruction. Using foundational geologic concepts you will explore a wide variety of topics in this book, including: marine sediments, age determination, stable isotope paleoclimate proxies, Cenozoic climate change, climate cycles, polar climates, and abrupt warming and cooling events. You will evaluate published scientific data, practice developing and testing hypotheses, and infer the broader implications of scientific results. It is our philosophy that addressing how we know is as important as addressing what we know about past climate change. Making climate change science accessible is the goal of this book.Readership: earth science students at a variety of levels studying paleoclimatology, oceanography, Quaternary science, or earth-system science"-- ; "This project integrates scientific ocean drilling data and research (DSDP-ODP-IODPANDRILL) with education"-- cProvided by publisher. ; cProvided by publisher.
