Understanding the global climate change from greenhouse to icehouse conditions at the
Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT) 34millionyears ago requires climatic records from …

Asian terrestrial records of the Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) are rare and, when
available, often poorly constrained in time, even though they are crucial in understanding …

Abstract The Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) at∼ 34 Ma marked a significant global
cooling on Earth when the ice cover in the Antarctic was formed. How the regional …

Global climate cooling from greenhouse to icehouse conditions occurred across an
enigmatic transitional interval during the Eocene epoch characterized by incipient polar ice …

We review Late Cenozoic climate and environment changes in the western interior of China
with an emphasis on lacustrine records from Lake Qinghai. Widespread deposition of red …

Climate models suggest that Asian paleoenvironments, monsoons and continental
aridification were primarily governed by tectonic uplift and sea retreat since the Eocene with …

Abstract The Tarim Basin in western China formed the easternmost margin of a shallow
epicontinental sea that extended across Eurasia and was well connected to the western …

Cenozoic climate cooling at the advent of the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT),~ 33.7 Ma
ago, was stamped in the ocean by a series of climatic events albeit the impact of this global …

Abstract Global cooling, Tibetan Plateau uplift and the retreat of the Para-Tethys Sea have
long been thought to be the key controls of the Cenozoic climate change in the Asian inland …

This paper provides a review of paleoclimate modeling activities in China. Rather than
attempt to cover all topics, we have chosen a few climatic intervals and events judged to be …
