Are we now living in the Anthropocene? (2008)
Zalasiewicz, J., Williams, M., Smith, A., Barry, T.L., Coe, A.L., Bown, P.R., ...
The term Anthropocene, proposed and increasingly employed to denote the current interval of anthropogenic global environmental change, may be discussed on stratigraphic grounds. A case can be made...

Nannoplankton extinction and origination across the paleocene-eocene thermal maximum (2006)
Gibbs, S.J., Bown, P.R., Sessa, J.A., Bralower, T.J., Wilson, P.A.
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 55 million years ago) was an interval of global warming and ocean acidification attributed to rapid release and oxidation of buried carbon. We show that...
Gibbs, S.J., Bralower, T.J., Bown, P.R., Zachos, J., Bybell, L.
Abrupt global warming and profound perturbation of the carbon cycle during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, ca. 55 Ma) have been linked to a massive release of carbon into the...

Calcareous nannoplankton evolution and diversity through time (2004)
Bown, P.R., Lees, J.A., Young, J.R.
Planktic microfossils arguably provide the most complete (stratigraphic and taxonomic) record of biodiversity of any group of organisms. The phytoplankton record is of particular significance as it...
The Cretaceous-Tertiary biotic transition (1997)
Macleod, N., Rawson, P. F., Forey, P. L., Banner, F. T., Boudagher-Fadel, M. K., Bown, P. R., ...
Mass extinctions are recognized through the study of fossil groups across event horizons, and from analyses of long-term trends in taxonomic richness and diversity. Both approaches have inherent...
Kaminski, M.A., Baumgartner, P.O., Bown, P.R., Haig, D.W., McMinn, A., Moran, M.J., ...
During ODP Leg 123, Sites 765 and 766 were drilled to examine the tectonic evolution, sedimentary history, and paleoceanography of the Argo Abyssal Plain and lower Exmouth Plateau. At each site, the...
