A research team led by Academician Jin Zhijun from the Institute of Energy, Peking University, has revealed how interactions between Earth’s tectonic activity and astronomical cycles jointly shaped the planet’s climate and carbon cycle during the Late Paleozoic Era (360–250 million years ago, or 360–250 Ma). The findings are published in Nature Communications, titled “Tectonic-astronomical interactions in shaping Late Paleozoic climate and organic carbon burial,” offering new insights into the deep-time climate system.
