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 …

Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to past and future climate change
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

Simulating miocene warmth: insights from an opportunistic multi‐model ensemble (MioMIP1)
Abstract The Miocene epoch, spanning 23.03–5.33 Ma, was a dynamic climate of sustained,
polar amplified warmth. Miocene atmospheric CO2 concentrations are typically …

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 …

An ancient river landscape preserved beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet
Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) has its origins ca. 34 million years ago. Since
then, the impact of climate change and past fluctuations in the EAIS margin has been …

Coupled influence of tectonics, climate, and surface processes on landscape evolution in southwestern North America
The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …
