Time scale controversy: Accurate orbital calibration of the early Paleogene (2012, methodology): “…been completely covered by cyclostratigraphic studies in pelagic sediments [Pälike and Hilgen, 2008], by the uncertainties and limits of astronomical calculations [Laskar et al., 2004, 2011b], and by uncertainties in radioisotopic age constraints [Machlus et al., 2004; Westerhold and Röhl, 2009].”
Strong chaos induced by close encounters with Ceres and Vesta (2011, neutral): “In the numerical simulations, the full model comprises the eight planets of the Solar System, Pluto, and the Moon, as well as Ceres, Pallas, Vesta, Iris, and Bamberga.”
Nonuniform cratering of the terrestrial planets (2008, background): “The secular variations in inclination, eccentricity and obliquity over 250 Myr for the Earth and Moon were taken from Laskar et al. (2004b) , whereas secular variations of Venus and Mercury were roughly reproduced over the past 10 Myr as plotted in Laskar (1988) .O ur results show that secular vari”
The challenge of simulating the warmth of the mid-Miocene climatic optimum in CESM1 (2013, result): “Although higher than modern obliquity is reconstructed in orbital configurations calculated for the MMCO ( Laskar et al., 2004), this MAT anomaly compared to PI is similar to the warming found in the MMCO560 simulation.”
