Glacioeustatic sea-level changes reveal the Artinskian great deglaciation
Recently, a research team focusing on the Late Paleozoic at the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS)—consisting of Associate Professor ZHENG Quanfeng, Professor WANG Yue, Assistant Professor HUANG Xing, and Professor CHEN Bo—collaborated with Nanjing Normal University, China University of Mining and Technology, and Nanjing University to conduct a high-resolution sedimentological, fusuline biostratigraphic, and inorganic carbon isotope stratigraphic study of the Chuanshan–Chihsia formations at the Kongshan section in Nanjing. Based on regional and global correlations, this team reconstructed a high-resolution glacioeustatic sea-level curve spanning the Asselian to middle Kungurian stages, thereby elucidating the evolution of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA) during the early Permian.
