A decomposition approach to cyclostratigraphic signal processing (2021)
Journal Article
Wouters, S., Crucifix, M., Sinnesael, M., Da Silva, A., Zeeden, C., Zivanovic, M., …Devleeschouwer, X. (2022). A decomposition approach to cyclostratigraphic signal processing. Earth-Science Reviews, 225, Article 103894. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103894

Sedimentary rocks can record signals produced by highly complex processes. These signals are generated by a progressive deposition of sediments which can be affected, mainly through the climate system, by regular astronomical cycles (i.e. Milankovitc...

Precession-driven climate cycles and time scale prior to the Hirnantian glacial maximum (2021)
Journal Article
Sinnesael, M., McLaughlin, P., Desrochers, A., Mauviel, A., De Weirdt, J., Claeys, P., & Vandenbroucke, T. (2021). Precession-driven climate cycles and time scale prior to the Hirnantian glacial maximum. Geology, 49(11), 1295-1300. https://doi.org/10.1130/g49083.1

Paleozoic astrochronologies are limited by uncertainties in past astronomical configurations and the availability of complete stratigraphic sections with precise, independent age control. We show it is possible to reconstruct a robust Paleozoic ~104-... Read More about Precession-driven climate cycles and time scale prior to the Hirnantian glacial maximum.

Detecting initial aragonite and calcite variations in limestone–marl alternations (2021)
Journal Article
Nohl, T., Steinbauer, M. J., Sinnesael, M., & Jarochowska, E. (2021). Detecting initial aragonite and calcite variations in limestone–marl alternations. Sedimentology, 68(7), 3102-3115. https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12885

Limestone–marl alternations are commonly used for high-resolution cyclostratigraphic studies and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, but diagenetic studies indicate that not all limestone–marl alternations reflect genuine differences in the initial...

Globally distributed iridium layer preserved within the Chicxulub impact structure (2021)
Journal Article
Goderis, S., Sato, H., Ferrière, L., Schmitz, B., Burney, D., Kaskes, P., …Whalen, M. T. (2021). Globally distributed iridium layer preserved within the Chicxulub impact structure. Science Advances, 7(9), Article eabe3647. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abe3647

The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction is marked globally by elevated concentrations of iridium, emplaced by a hypervelocity impact event 66 million years ago. Here, we report new data from four independent laboratories that reveal a positiv... Read More about Globally distributed iridium layer preserved within the Chicxulub impact structure.
