2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate
indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …

Simulating the warmth and equability of past hothouse climates has been a challenge since
the inception of paleoclimate modeling. The newest generation of Earth system models …

Earth's hydrological cycle is expected to intensify in response to global warming, with a “wet‐
gets‐wetter, dry‐gets‐drier” response anticipated over the ocean. Subtropical regions (∼ …

The early Eocene is a key geological time interval to further our understanding of climate
change and biosphere variability under high atmospheric CO 2 concentrations of more than …

We examine the implications for intercontinental dispersal of the extinct ant genus,
Titanomyrma Archibald et al.(Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Formiciinae), following the …

Proxy data suggest that the early Eocene (∼ 56–47.8 million years ago) was characterized
by a much weaker equator-to-pole temperature gradient than today. However, general …

Most studies of the response of terrestrial vegetation to climate change during the
Paleocene‐Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) have focused on individual sites and …

The growth of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) during the Cenozoic drove dramatic
climate and environmental change in this region. However, there has been limited …

The spatio-temporal vegetation patterns of East Asia in the Eocene remain uncertain. In this
present paper, we conduct numerical analyses of plant functional types (PFTs) for 80 …

During the early to middle Eocene, a mid‐to‐high latitudinal position and enhanced
hydrological cycle in Australia would have contributed to a wetter and “greener” Australian …
