Palaeozoological, palaeobotanical and geochemical analyses of Lower Permian to the lowermost Cretaceous sediments exposed in the southern Russian Far East (Bureya-Jiamusi-Khanka superterrane and the Sergeevka terrane), and higher latitude areas (northern Russian Far East and Spitsbergen) suggest a direct relationship with global climatic events defined by the data from oxygen-isotopic palaeotemperatures. Several positive carbon-isotopic anomalies discovered within the uppermost Cisuralian, Guadalupian, early Lopingian and Aalenian-Bajocian intervals are possibly connected to strong hydrological intermixing of oceanic waters under the influence of considerable thermal gradients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
