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 …

Carbonate minerals contain stable isotopes of carbon and oxygen with different masses
whose abundances and bond arrangement are governed by thermodynamics. The clumped …

The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO) from~ 17 to 14 million years ago (Ma) represents an
enigmatic reversal in Cenozoic cooling. A synthesis of marine paleotemperature records …

The~ 2,000-km-long Central Range of New Guinea is a hotspot of modern carbon
sequestration due to the chemical weathering of igneous rocks with steep topography in the …

Abstract The Mid‐Pleistocene Transition (MPT), where the Pleistocene glacial cycles
changed from 41 to∼ 100 kyr periodicity, is one of the most intriguing unsolved issues in the …

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 …

Paleontological reconstructions of plankton community structure during warm periods of the
Cenozoic (last 66 million years) reveal that deep-dwelling 'twilight zone'(200–1000 m) …

Clumped isotope thermometry can independently constrain the formation temperatures of
carbonates, but a lack of precisely temperature‐controlled calibration samples limits its …

Understanding the transfer of carbon between Earth's surface reservoirs is necessary for
interpreting climate transitions in Earth history and predicting future climate change …

The early Eocene hothouse experienced highly elevated atmospheric CO2 levels and
multiple transient global warming events, so-called hyperthermals. The deep ocean …
