A new paleoenvironmental reconstruction using integrated pedological, geochemical, and isotopic data from the Green River Basin (Green River/Great Divide region) provides a high-resolution record of environmental and climatic change throughout the EECO. Our reconstruction indicates that this region, and likely much of the margin of paleolake Gosiute, was a stable, fluvially-controlled floodplain environment with evidence of large scale continuous soil development and features comparable with modern Alfisols (temperate forest soils). Regional climate data from multiple proxies indicates that the period was warm-temperate and semi-arid to sub-humid, with a peak interval from about 51.5-50.9 Ma that exhibits significantly warmer (~ 7C) and wetter (~ 750 mm yr-1) conditions, resulting in major changes to the local weathering regime. Isotopic analyses also indicate a rapid increase to high atmospheric pCO2 values (~ 1700 ppmV) and a shift in the d13C composition of pedogenic carbonates during this peak interval that appear to define and provide a cause for this significant regional response to global climatic change. The new data, when combined with foraminiferal d13C records, are consistent with CO2 ventilation from a deep marine reservoir source. This multi-proxy reconstruction suggests that the EECO may have had a superimposed "peak" of climatic and ecological change on land. #-------------------- # Publication # Authors: Ethan Hyland, Nathan D.

Recent work suggests that the timing and duration of the event are characterized by different responses in the marine and terrestrial realms, and that traditional causal mechanisms may not adequately explain such differences. We applied high-resolution paleopedology, geochemical analysis, and phytolith biostratigraphy techniques to paleosol suites within the well-described Wind River Formation of western Wyoming, USA. This multiproxy record indicates a short (<1 m.y.) peak period of carbon isotopic enrichment (up to 2 permil higher) and elevated pCO2, high temperatures (up to 8C higher), increased precipitation (up to 500 mm yr-1 higher), and shifts in floral composition (up to 10%). Terrestrial climatic and ecological changes of this kind during the early Eocene climatic optimum are consistent with changes in contemporaneous records that have been ascribed to high atmospheric pCO2, but a transient peak interval suggests that the cause of high atmospheric pCO2 during the early Eocene was likely not increased volcanism or decreased silicate weathering, which operate on longer timescales. Instead, terrestrial records from across western North America agree that early Eocene climatic optimum changes may have been caused by other sources, such as a combination of increased ventilation of oceanic carbon and increased petroleum generation in sedimentary basins. The climatic and environmental changes exhibited by this and other North American terrestrial records also define a pattern of regional response that is relevant for understanding the impacts of global climate change events. #------------------ # Funding_Agency # Funding_Agency_Name: # Grant: #------------------ # Site_Information # Site_Name: Green River Basin # Location: North America>United States Of America>Wyoming # Country: United States Of America # Northernmost_Latitude: 43.5057 # Southernmost_Latitude: 42.2179 # Easternmost_Longitude: -108.5307 # Westernmost_Longitude: -109.5372 # Elevation: #------------------ # Data_Collection # Collection_Name: Hyland2013paleosol # Earliest_Year: 52000000 # Most_Recent_Year: 50500000 # Time_Unit: Cal.
