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 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 latitudinal temperature gradient is a fundamental state parameter of the climate system
tied to the dynamics of heat transport and radiative transfer. Thus, it is a primary target for …

The Cenozoic landscape evolution in southwestern North America is ascribed to crustal
isostasy, dynamic topography, or lithosphere tectonics, but their relative contributions remain …

The drivers of the evolution of the South Asian Monsoon remain widely debated. An
intensification of monsoonal rainfall recorded in terrestrial and marine sediment archives …

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 …

Paleotemperature proxy data form the cornerstone of paleoclimate research and are integral
to understanding the evolution of the Earth system across the Phanerozoic Eon. Here, we …

The long‐term evolution of the East Asian Monsoon and the processes controlling its
variability under changing climate boundary conditions remain enigmatic. Here, we integrate …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

Ocean dynamics in the equatorial Pacific drive tropical climate patterns that affect marine
and terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. How this region will respond to global warming has …
