A recent study reveals that a devastating 2012 wildfire in the high-altitude alpine moorland of Africa's Rwenzori Mountains was the first large-scale blaze in the region in at least 12,000 years. This unprecedented event signals a modern threat to unique tropical alpine ecosystems driven by a shifting climate and human activity.

During the Late Miocene epoch, massive volcanic eruptions in the Andes deposited nutrient-rich ash into the Southern Ocean, triggering widespread marine algae blooms that simultaneously fueled the evolution of gigantic whales, caused localized mass mortality events, and significantly cooled the Earth by drawing atmospheric carbon dioxide into the sea.

Analysis of a 16-meter sediment core from Lake Yoa in Chad reveals that the "African Humid Period" (14,800 to 5,500 years ago) was not a continuously wet era, but was instead abruptly interrupted by severe, decadal-scale droughts.

The 40,000-year obliquity cycle tied to Earth's axial tilt, which dictated the growth and decay of the Antarctic ice sheet 34 million years ago, directly drove marine biological productivity in the distant subtropical ocean.

Paleoclimatology is the scientific study of climates in the geologic past. It aims to reconstruct Earth’s climate history to understand how and why #climate changes over long periods, using data preserved in natural records such as ice cores, tree rings, sediment, and fossils to provide context for current and future climate trends.

Which implies a instantaneous change I'd be gladly corrected by #paleoclimatology #paleoextinction #paleologist , because I don't even have the level of a student in the domain, so it's probable I mistake For example, I don't remember about the fragmented asteroid theory: they were asteroidS

Marine Isotope Stage 13 (Paleogeography 🦕)

Marine Isotope Stage 13 or MIS 13 is a Marine isotope stage in the geologic temperature record, in Britain covering the Cromerian interglacial period between ~524,000 and 474,000 years ago. It is split into three substages, MIS 13a MIS 13b, and MIS 13c. Some records indicate that MIS 13a was an ...

The West’s #Megadrought Might Not Let Up for Decades, Study Suggests
Not in 12 centuries has the region been so dry for so long. Clues from another dry spell 6,000 years ago are helping scientists understand what’s driving the latest one, and why it’s been so unrelenting. It seems to be the result of a pattern of #Pacific #Ocean temperatures that is “stuck” because of #globalwarming.

Don Glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

The Don Glaciation, also known as the Donian Glaciation and the Donian Stage, was the major glaciation of the East European Plain, 0.8–0.5 million years ago, during the Cromerian Stage of the Middle Pleistocene. It is correlated to Marine Isotope Stage 16, approximately 650,000 years ago, which globally contained one of the largest g...

"The palaeoclimate record shouts out to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climatic system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges."
