Executive editor
This paper represents a major step forward in understanding Earth history proxy records and how to model and correlate records, as illustrated by examples in the paper. The work presented here should have direct implications in the field of reconstructing Earth history from paleo proxy records but also beyond with a wide range of possible applications.
Short summary
The chemistry of sedimentary rocks is used to reconstruct past changes in Earth's climate and biogeochemical cycles. Reconstructing global change requires merging stratigraphic proxy records from many locations, each of which may be incomplete, time-uncertain, and influenced by both global and local processes. StratMC uses Bayesian modeling to see through this complexity, building more accurate and testable reconstructions of global change from stratigraphic data.
