From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is my sandbox page. I am using it to get a better understanding of how to create, edit and reference things for my project in GEOG 430. I am going to make a practice reference to the carbon isotopes carbon 16 and carbon 18 here.
I am assigning myself the same article that I edited and made comments on the talk page--Middle Miocene disruption. The talk page for this article has a more detailed summary of the changes I would like to make. In short, there is a lot more research that is relevant and has been published on this time period since the articles inception in '07 (I think). When I was looking for an article to write about several weeks back, I spent some time accumulating research studies via the journals we were shown in class. One example of an journal entry I plan to use would be "the middle miocene climatic transition: East Antarctic ice sheet development, deep ocean circulation and global carbon cycling" by Benjamin Flowers and James Kennett. This is one source of about 6 that I have accumulated and skimmed and plan on making reference to. I realize that some of these are specific hypotheses about the time period, and so there will be some struggle to fit them into the main body of the article. I think more than likely I can build the main section through consensus's in the articles and then go deeper into different ideologies in sub sections if necessary.
