Opis

Pioneer study on PETM in Iraq, using Multi-proxy indications (sedimentological, geochemical, stable isotopic, biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic) to illustrate environmental perturbation in this important period of the geologic history. It represents special and complementary to all local studies on Paleocene to Eocene period because it sheds light on warm climatic anomaly as natural disaster on geological and environmental events.
