The Miocene: The future of the past
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 …

[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 …

The evolution of pCO2, ice volume and climate during the middle Miocene
The middle Miocene Climatic Optimum (17–15Ma; MCO) is a period of global warmth and
relatively high CO2 and is thought to be associated with a significant retreat of the Antarctic …

Late Cretaceous–Neogene trends in deep ocean temperature and continental ice volume: Reconciling records of benthic foraminiferal geochemistry (δ18O and Mg …
We reconstruct trends in ice volume and deep ocean temperature for the past 108 Myr,
resolving variations on timescales of∼ 2 Myr and longer. We use a sea level record as a …

Cenozoic evolution of deep ocean temperature from clumped isotope thermometry
Characterizing past climate states is crucial for understanding the future consequences of
ongoing greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we revisit the benchmark time series for deep …

[HTML][HTML] Constraining the evolution of Neogene ocean carbonate chemistry using the boron isotope pH proxy
Over the course of the Neogene, the Earth underwent profound climatic shifts from the
sustained warmth of the middle Miocene to the development of Plio-Pleistocene glacial …

Dynamic Antarctic ice sheet during the early to mid-Miocene
Geological data indicate that there were major variations in Antarctic ice sheet volume and
extent during the early to mid-Miocene. Simulating such large-scale changes is problematic …

Ocean carbon storage across the middle Miocene: A new interpretation for the Monterey Event
Abstract The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO, 14–17 Ma) was~ 3–4° C warmer than
present, similar to estimates for 2100. Coincident with the MCO is the Monterey positive …
