Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet contains the vast majority of Earth's glacier ice (about
52 metres sea-level equivalent), but is often viewed as less vulnerable to global warming …

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

Cenozoic evolution of the Antarctic ice sheets is thought to be driven primarily by long-term
changes in radiative forcing, but the tectonic evolution of Antarctica may also have played a …

Brine formed through the cryogenic concentration of seawater remains one of the least
understood components of Earth's cryosphere. Cryogenic brine is a prominent feature of 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 …

It is generally believed that a large scale Antarctic ice sheet formed at the Eocene-Oligocene
transition (34.44-33.65 Ma). However, oxygen isotope excursions during the late Eocene (38 …

Oscillations in ice sheet extent during early and middle Miocene are intermittently preserved
in the sedimentary record from the Antarctic continental shelf, with widespread erosion …

The long‐term extent of the Earth system response to anthropogenic interference remains
uncertain. However, the geologic record offers insights into this problem as Earth has …

The Miocene period saw substantially warmer Earth surface temperatures than today,
particularly during a period of global warming called the Mid Miocene Climatic Optimum …
