Earth's orbital parameters

Orbitally forced stratigraphy

Astronomical time for Earth history

These presentations introduce the Earth's orbital parameters, showcase ancient stratigraphic signals with evidence for solar system resonance and changes in Earth's length-of-day, and describe how global orbitally forced solar radiation can explain the differences in the orbital signals recorded by Cenozoic "icehouse" and Mesozoic "greenhouse" proxies of the global ice budget.
