| Abstract | The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 56 million years ago) is an important paleoclimate event used to understand how Earth’s climate system responded to rapid increases in atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide. One approach to study this interval is chemical analysis of microfossils known as foraminifera preserved in deep-sea sediment. Foraminifera grow calcium carbonate shells that record the environmental conditions of the organism’s habitat. However, PETM foraminiferal records suffer |
