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 …

Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM),∼ 56 Mya, thousands of
petagrams of carbon were released into the ocean-atmosphere system with attendant …

The early Eocene" equable climate problem", ie warm extratropical annual mean and above-
freezing winter temperatures evidenced by proxy records, has remained as one of the great …

Methane frozen into hydrate makes up a large reservoir of potentially volatile carbon below
the sea floor and associated with permafrost soils. This reservoir intuitively seems …

This outline of the topographic evolution of Africa tied to the history of the African Surface
illustrates how a unique geomorphic history over the past 180 million years reflects the …

We present a new multiproxy (TEX86, δ18O and Mg/Ca), marine temperature history for
Canterbury Basin, eastern New Zealand, that extends from middle Paleocene to middle …

The TEX86 proxy, based on the distribution of marine isoprenoidal glycerol dialkyl glycerol
tetraether lipids (GDGTs), is increasingly used to reconstruct sea surface temperature (SST) …

Proxy data constraining land and ocean surface paleo‐temperatures indicate that the Middle
Miocene Climate Optimum (MMCO), a global warming event at∼ 15 Ma, had a global …

Foraminiferal tests are a common component of many marine sediments. The oxygen
isotope ratio (δ18O) of test calcite is frequently used to reconstruct aspects of their life …
