Age Dating and the Orbital Theory of the Ice Ages: Development of a High-Resolution 0 to 300,000-Year Chronostratigraphy

Douglas G. Martinson, Nicklas G. Pisias, James D Hays et al. · 1 Jan 1987

Abstract Using the concept of “orbital tuning”, a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr. The chronology is developed using a stacked oxygen-isotope stratigraphy and four different orbital tuning approaches, each of which is based upon a different assumption concerning the response of the orbital signal recorded in the data.…

Holocene climate variability

Paul A. Mayewski, Eelco E. Rohling, J. Curt Stager et al. · 21 Oct 2004

Although the dramatic climate disruptions of the last glacial period have received considerable attention, relatively little has been directed toward climate variability in the Holocene (11,500 cal yr B.P. to the present). Examination of ?50 globally distributed paleoclimate records reveals as many as six periods of significant rapid climate change during the time periods 9000"8000,…

Oxygen Isotope and Palaeomagnetic Stratigraphy of Equatorial Pacific Core V28-238: Oxygen Isotope Temperatures and Ice Volumes on a 10<sup>5</sup> Year and 10<sup>6</sup> Year Scale

Nicholas J Shackleton, Neil D. Opdyke · 1 Jun 1973

Abstract Core Vema 28-238 preserves an excellent oxygen isotope and magnetic stratigraphy and is shown to contain undisturbed sediments deposited continuously through the past 870,000 yr. Detailed correlation with sequences described by Emiliani in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean is demonstrated. The boundaries of 22 stages representing alternating times of high and low Northern Hemisphere…

Origin and Consequences of Cyclic Ice Rafting in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean During the Past 130,000 Years

Hartmut Heinrich · 1 Mar 1988

Deep-sea sediment cores recovered from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean were examined in order to elucidate the influence of the Earth's orbital parameters on major ice rafting. Analyses of coarse-grained ice-rafted debris and planktonic foraminifers revealed a strong reaction to the precession signal. Since 130,000 yr B.P., dropstone layers have been deposited each half period of…

Quaternary Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Quaternary Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Quaternary Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Cambridge University Press format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Quaternary Research use?
Quaternary Research uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', Quaternary Research, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Quaternary Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Cambridge University Press-ready Quaternary Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Quaternary Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Quaternary Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Quaternary Research?
Quaternary Research is a multidisciplinary journal published by Cambridge University Press. DocuGuru's Quaternary Research template matches Cambridge University Press's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Quaternary Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Quaternary Research template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Cambridge University Press, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Quaternary Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Quaternary Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Quaternary Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
