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 …

The residence time of Southern Ocean surface waters and the 100,000-year ice age cycle
From 1.25 million to 700,000 years ago, the ice age cycle deepened and lengthened from
