[HTML][HTML] The Eocene–Oligocene transition: a review of marine and terrestrial proxy data, models and model–data comparisons
Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

Pliocene and Eocene provide best analogs for near-future climates
As the world warms due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, the Earth system moves
toward climate states without societal precedent, challenging adaptation. Past Earth system …
