Heiko Pälike and Frits Hilgen, Correspondence to Nature Geoscience (2008), Vol 1 (5), p. 282, doi:10.1038/ngeo197
To the EditorThe need for much improved knowledge of the durations and ages of climatic and geological events, such as the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (55 million years ago), has become urgent within the Earth science and climate modelling communities. The [...]
