Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) represent significant changes in the climatic and paleoceanographic state of the planet, and are associated with major disturbances in the global carbon cycle, that have been recorded through Black Shale Sedimentation. Five (5) main OAEs have been recorded worldwide from the Paleozoic Era. Even though during these events, the climatic conditions would represent a typical “Greenhouse World”, they have a lot of differences between them; and therefore, the trigger mechanism is still debatable and cannot account for all OAEs.
Recent studies on Oceanic Anoxic Events and Black Shale Sedimentation are focused on the research of plethora of geochemical indicators providing more details and characteristics of the paleoclimatic conditions that occurred during each time. This special issue focuses on providing a comprehensive update on the state of the art regarding the Oceanic Anoxic Events and Black Shale Sedimentation and invites contributions from all OAEs and geochemical fields.
