The Cretaceous world: plate tectonics, palaeogeography and palaeoclimate
The tectonics, geography and climate of the Cretaceous world were very different from the
modern world. At the start of the Cretaceous, the supercontinent of Pangaea had just begun …

Cretaceous climates: Map** paleo-Köppen climatic zones using a Bayesian statistical analysis of lithologic, paleontologic, and geochemical proxies
Abstract The Cretaceous Period (145 to 66 Ma) was a prolonged warmhouse to hothouse
period characterized by high atmospheric CO 2 conditions, elevated surface temperatures …

Global and zonal‐mean hydrological response to early Eocene warmth
Earth's hydrological cycle is expected to intensify in response to global warming, with a “wet‐

Paleoclimate data provide constraints on climate models' large-scale response to past CO2 changes
The paleoclimate record provides a test-bed in which climate models can be evaluated
under conditions of substantial CO2 change; however, these data are typically under-used …

Climate variability, heat distribution, and polar amplification in the warm unipolar “icehouse” of the Oligocene
The Oligocene (33.9–23.03 Ma) had warm climates with flattened meridional temperature
gradients, while Antarctica retained a significant cryosphere. These may pose imperfect …
