The Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum is marked by a prominent negative carbon‐isotope excursion, reflecting the injection of thousands of gigatons of isotopically light carbon into the atmosphere. The sources of the isotopically light carbon remain p...

Two negative carbon isotope excursions (3.5–6.5‰) across the Wuchiapingian-Changhsingian boundary (WCB) are observed globally (sections in China, Canada, and Iran); however, the causative mechanism of these excursions is debated. Here, high-resolutio... Read More about Osmium-isotope evidence for volcanism across the Wuchiapingian–Changhsingian boundary interval.
