Washington [US], June 11 (ANI): Palaeoclimatologists study climate of the geological past. Using an innovative technique, new research by an international research team led by Niels de Winter (VUB-AMGC and Utrecht University) shows for the first time that dinosaurs had to deal with greater seasonal differences than previously thought.
An international research team led by Niels de Winter of Utrecht University has used a new method to reconstruct the monthly temperature differences during the Cretaceous period (78 million years ago). This era, the time of the dinosaurs, was charact
Paleoclimatologist Niels de Winter and colleagues developed an innovative way to use the clumped isotope method to reconstruct climate in the geological past on the seasonal scale. They show that dinosaurs had to deal with hotter summers than previously thought. The results suggest that in the mid latitudes, seasonal temperatures will likely rise along with climate warming, while seasonal difference is maintained. This results in very high summer temperatures.
