Proxy data suggest that atmospheric CO2 levels during the middle of the Pliocene epoch
(about 3 Myr ago) were similar to today, leading to the use of this interval as a potential …

Reconstructing the evolution of sea level during past warmer epochs such as the Pliocene
provides insight into the response of sea level and ice sheets to prolonged warming …

Abstract During the Last Interglacial, global mean sea level reached approximately 6 to 9 m
above the present level. This period of high sea level may have been punctuated by a fall of …

Understanding the evolution of, and the interactions between, ice sheets and the global
climate over geological timescales is important for being able to project their future …

The strong warming of the North Atlantic and high latitudes in the Pliocene (5.3–2.6 million
years ago) continually fails to be simulated in climate model simulations. Being the last …

Perturbations to the Earth's gravity field and solid surface associated with glacial isostatic
adjustment (GIA) cause the total (observable) sea-level change to depart from the eustatic …

The stability of the Earth's major ice sheets is a critical uncertainty in predictions of future
climate and sea level change. One method of investigating the behaviour of the Greenland …

Earth is heading towards a climate that last existed more than three million years ago (Ma)
during the 'mid-Pliocene warm period', when atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations …

Tectonic displacement contaminates estimates of peak eustatic sea level (and, equivalently,
minimum continental ice volumes) determined from the elevation of Quaternary interglacial …

The Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP) is a co-ordinated international
climate modelling initiative to study and understand climate and environments of the Late …
