Climatic and tectonic drivers of late Oligocene Antarctic ice volume
Cenozoic evolution of the Antarctic ice sheets is thought to be driven primarily by long-term
changes in radiative forcing, but the tectonic evolution of Antarctica may also have played a …

Antarctic ice-sheet sensitivity to obliquity forcing enhanced through ocean connections
Deep sea geological records indicate that Antarctic ice-sheet growth and decay is strongly
influenced by the Earth's astronomical variations (known as Milankovitch cycles), and that …
