Evaluation of Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum Carbon Isotope Record Completeness—An Illustration of the Potential of Dynamic Time Warping in Aligning Paleo‐Proxy Records
Abstract Variations in sedimentation rate, bioturbation, winnowing, and dissolution modify the deep‐sea sedimentary record, complicating the apparent relationship between stratigraphic depth and time of a geochemical proxy record and confounding the extraction of a clear picture of past climates and...
