MIT geologists have produced a new timeline of Earth’s Paleozoic climate changes. The record shows ancient temperature variations coinciding with shifts in planet’s…
The temperature of a planet is linked with the diversity of life that it can support. MIT geologists have now reconstructed a timeline of the Earths temperature during the early Paleozoic era, between 510 and 440 million years ago a pivotal period when animals became abundant in a previously microbe-dominated world.
