![]() ![]() ![]() The timing is important to understand the rate at which carbon was released into the atmosphere, the scientists said. Previous estimates have ranged from several years to tens of thousands of years. The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, also indicated the onset of the PETM lasted about 6,000 years. "An orbital trigger may have led to the carbon release that caused several degrees of global warming during the PETM as opposed to what's a more popular interpretation at the moment that massive volcanism released the carbon and triggered the event," said Kump, the John Leone Dean in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. They found the shape of Earth's orbit, or eccentricity, and the wobble in its rotation, or precession, favored hotter conditions at the onset of the PETM and that these orbital configurations together may have played a role in triggering the event. The scientists analyzed core samples from a well-preserved record of the PETM near the Maryland coast using astrochronology, a technique for dating sediments against orbital patterns that occur over tens to hundreds of thousands of years, known as Milankovitch cycles. "There has been a lot of interest in better resolving that history, and our work addresses important questions about what triggered the event and the rate of carbon emissions."
