Quantifying uncertainty in the structure and duration of silurian biogeochemical events
Researchers have conducted an interdisciplinary study of the Silurian Altajme drill core in Sweden to better understand ancient biogeochemical events. By integrating high-resolution carbon isotope stratigraphy with new geochronological data, the team has refined the timeline and structure of major environmental shifts.
Why it matters
Improving the accuracy of geological dating helps scientists better understand the Earth's historical climate changes and the drivers behind mass extinction events.
