Much of our understanding of Earth's past climate comes from the measurement of oxygen
and carbon isotope variations in deep-sea benthic foraminifera. Yet, long intervals in …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (around 40 million years ago) was a roughly
400,000-year-long global warming phase associated with an increase in atmospheric CO2 …

A study of the paleoenvironmental evolution of the middle Eocene platforms recognized in
the westernmost Tethys has been carried out in the well-exposed middle Eocene …

Investigating the fossil record to provide evidence about the response of shallow-water
tropical calcifiers to past warming events is crucial considering that they are severely …

Featured Application A challenging issue for humankind is the understanding of the future
biota state within the context of global change (anthropogenic CO2 emissions, global …

The early Cenozoic marine sedimentary record is punctuated by several brief episodes (<
200 kyr) of abrupt global warming, called hyperthermals, that have disturbed ocean life and …

Paleogene age deposits east of the Fifteenmile River, northwest of Dawson City, Yukon,
Canada preserve a diverse high‐latitude fossil flora. Here, we provide new data on the age …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) is a transient warming episode
during an interval of long-term Cenozoic cooling that is recorded in deep-sea marine …

Microfossils have a ubiquitous and well‐studied fossil record with temporally and spatially
fluctuating diversity, but how this arises and how major events affect speciation and …

Astrochronologically calibrated deep‐sea records document the Cenozoic (66–0 Ma) global
climatic cooling in great detail, but the magnitude of sea‐level fluctuations of the middle …
