Early Cretaceous life, climate and anoxia
TLDR
Early Cretaceous life and the environment were strongly influenced by the accelerated break up of Pangaea, which was associated with the formation of a multitude of rift basins, intensified spreading, and important volcanic activity on land and in the sea as discussed by the authors.About:

TL;DR: A review of the state of the art on eustatic (global) versus relative (regional) sea level, as well as long-term versus short-term fluctuations and their drivers can be found in this paper.

Mid-Cretaceous High Arctic stratigraphy, climate, and Oceanic Anoxic Events
Jens O. Herrle,Claudia J. Schröder-Adams,William J. Davis,Adam T. Pugh,Jennifer M. Galloway,Jared Fath +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution geochemical records for an ~1.8-km-thick sedimentary succession exposed on Axel Heiberg Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago at a paleolatitude of ~71°N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate variability and ocean fertility during the Aptian Stage
Cinzia Bottini,Elisabetta Erba,Daniele Tiraboschi,Hugh C. Jenkyns,Stefan Schouten,J.S. Sinninghe Damsté +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a reconstruction of surface-water palaeotemperature and fertility based on calcareous nannofossil records from the Cismon and Piobbico cores (Tethys) and DSDP Site 463 (Pacific Ocean) is presented.

Environmental consequences of Ontong Java Plateau and Kerguelen Plateau volcanism
Elisabetta Erba,Robert A. Duncan,Cinzia Bottini,Daniele Tiraboschi,Helmut Weissert,Hugh C. Jenkyns,Alberto Malinverno +6 more
TL;DR: The mid-Cretaceous was marked by emplacement of large igneous provinces (LIPs) that formed gigantic oceanic plateaus, affecting ecosystems on a global scale, with biota forced to face excess CO 2 resulting in climate and ocean perturbations as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental systems tracts of the Brazilian Cretaceous Bauru Basin and their relationship with the tectonic and climatic evolution of South America
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify stacking patterns of aeolian, lacustrine, fluvial and alluvial systems that correspond to the particular tectonic and climatic evolution of the southeastern portion of South America.

Chronology of fluctuating sea levels since the triassic.
TL;DR: An effort has been made to develop a realistic and accurate time scale and widely applicablechronostratigraphy and to integrate depositional sequences documented in public domain outcrop sections from various basins with this chronostratigraphic framework.
Supporting Online Material for Spreading Dead Zones and Consequences for Marine Ecosystems
Robert J. Diaz,Rutger Rosenberg +1 more
TL;DR: The formation of dead zones has been exacerbated by the increase in primary production and consequent worldwide coastal eutrophication fueled by riverine runoff of fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels as discussed by the authors.

Spreading Dead Zones and Consequences for Marine Ecosystems
Robert J. Diaz,Rutger Rosenberg +1 more
TL;DR: Dead zones in the coastal oceans have spread exponentially since the 1960s and have serious consequences for ecosystem functioning, exacerbated by the increase in primary production and consequent worldwide coastal eutrophication fueled by riverine runoff of fertilizers and the burning of fossil fuels.

TL;DR: 13 models of the ocean–carbon cycle are used to assess calcium carbonate saturation under the IS92a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario for future emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and indicate that conditions detrimental to high-latitude ecosystems could develop within decades, not centuries as suggested previously.
