Presently, the Earth's average global temperature is about 59 degrees Fahrenheit, cooler than much of the Phanerozoic era. However, human-induced climate change is driving temperature increases at ...

Researchers from the University of Bristol in England, who collaborated on the project, created over 850 climate models that simulated weather conditions during the Phanerozoic period. Sign up for ...

While the “greenhouse” worlds of the Archean, Proterozoic, and much of the Phanerozoic may seem foreign in many ways, these times do reveal Earth’s full spectrum of known climate possibilities.

Main research themes are: (1) Trace fossils through time: using fossil burrows, tracks and trails as records of the responses of benthic animals to past climate change ... drivers of ecological change ...
