Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

Abstract The mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP) offers an opportunity to understand a
warmer-than-present world and assess the predictive ability of numerical climate models …

The Pliocene epoch has great potential to improve our understanding of the long-term
climatic and environmental consequences of an atmospheric CO 2 concentration near∼ …

The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) is a co-ordinated international
climate modelling initiative to study and understand climate and environments of the Late …

Many studies have implied significant effects of global climate change on marine life. Setting
these alterations into the context of historical natural change has not been attempted so far …

The mid-Piacenzian climate represents the most geologically recent interval of long-term
average warmth relative to the last million years and shares similarities with the climate …

An essential element of modern ocean circulation and climate is the Atlantic meridional
overturning circulation (AMOC), which includes deep-water formation in the subarctic North …

Abstract The Pliocene Epoch (5.2 to 2.58 Ma) has often been targeted to investigate the
nature of warm climates. However, climate records for the Pliocene exhibit significant …

The early Late Pliocene (3.6 to∼ 3.0 million years ago) is the last extended interval in
Earth's history when atmospheric CO2 concentrations were comparable to today's and …

Abstract We present the Alfred Wegener Institute's contribution to the Pliocene Model
