It is well established that greenhouse conditions prevailed during the Cretaceous Period (~
145–66 Ma). Determining the exact nature of the greenhouse-gas forcing, climatic warming …

Since 65 million years ago (Ma), Earth's climate has undergone a significant and complex
evolution, the finer details of which are now coming to light through investigations of deep …

A long-term record of global mean surface temperature (GMST) provides critical insight into
the dynamical limits of Earth's climate and the complex feedbacks between temperature and …

Abstract The Early Eocene Climate Optimum (EECO, which occurred about 51 to 53 million
years ago), was the warmest interval of the past 65 million years, with mean annual surface …

Palaeoclimate reconstructions of periods with warm climates and high atmospheric CO2
concentrations are crucial for develo** better projections of future climate change. Deep …

Paleoelevation reconstruction using oxygen isotopes is making a significant contribution to
understanding the Cenozoic uplift of the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau. This paper …

The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time
that Earth's atmospheric CO 2 concentrations exceeded 1000 ppm. Global mean …

The uplift of eastern Tibet, Asian monsoon development and the evolution of globally
significant Asian biodiversity are all linked, but in obscure ways. Sedimentology …

Views differ on the uplift history of the SE Tibetan Plateau and causal geodynamic
mechanisms, yet reliable age-constrained paleoaltimetry in this region could test growth …

The latitudinal temperature gradient is a fundamental state parameter of the climate system
tied to the dynamics of heat transport and radiative transfer. Thus, it is a primary target for …
