Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology focuses on reconstructing past ocean and climate conditions using various archives. Recent research investigates the role of fire in grass expansion, causes of Middle Pleistocene Transition cooling, dust cycles in South America, and water flow in ancient seaways. Studies also examine the impact of Heinrich events on benthic environments, meltwater signals from ice sheets, and the influence of ocean currents like the Kuroshio Intrusion on regional hydroclimate. Reconstructions of paleosalinity, paleoproductivity, and monsoon dynamics are presented, alongside analyses of radiocarbon depletion and ocean ventilation. The journal also covers paleotidal reconstructions, magnetic properties of pelagic clays, oxygen minimum zone changes, and the evolution of ocean circulation.
