E_2_09 — Heinrich Events and Bond Cycles: Millennial-Scale Climate Oscillations

Heinrich events are episodes of massive iceberg discharge from the Laurentide Ice Sheet through Hudson Strait into the North Atlantic, depositing distinctive layers of ice-rafted debris (IRD) across the ocean floor. Firs

E_2_21 — Mount Vesuvius and the Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum (79 CE)

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius on August 24, 79 CE (or possibly late October, per recent evidence) destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in one of the most well-documented natural disasters of antiquity.

E_4_10 — Ice Core Science: Greenland and Antarctic Climate Records

Ice cores drilled from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets constitute one of the most powerful archives of past climate on Earth. Greenland cores (GRIP, GISP2, NGRIP, NEEM) provide high-resolution records extending ba

E_5_04 — Maya Classic Period Collapse

The Maya Classic Period Collapse (c. 800–1000 CE) was the dramatic and largely irreversible abandonment of dozens of major lowland Maya city-states across the southern Maya lowlands (modern-day Guatemala, Belize, western

E_5_03 — The End-Triassic Mass Extinction

The End-Triassic mass extinction (c. 201.564 ± 0.015 million years ago) was one of the "Big Five" mass extinctions in Earth's history, eliminating approximately 76% of all species and ~50% of genera, clearing the ecologi
