| Research Abstract |
This study has mentioned that eutrophication played a part in the enhancement of several evolutions. We have clarified that there were two distinct events, CEE across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary and GCOE in 8.5 Ma. These events presented the new indicator marine diatom genus Chaetoceros, a resting spore, to reconstruct past upwelling through the use of several DSDP, ODP, IODP and on-land samples during the past 40 million years. CEE characterized by resting spore diversification occurred from the upwelling activation after change of thermohaline circulation; followed by global cooling in early Oligocene. GCOE characterized by relatively higher occurrence rose out of iron input and the aridification in 8.5 Ma. As the result of an increase in diatoms, including Chaetoceros, marine organisms radiated over short evolutionary periods.
