After a 12-million-year (My) process, the Central American Isthmus was completed 2.8 My
ago. Its emergence affected current flow, salinity, temperature, and primary productivity of …

The Earth's climate has undergone a global transition over the past four million years, from
warm conditions with global surface temperatures about 3° C warmer than today, smaller ice …

During the warm early Pliocene (∼ 4.5 to 3.0 million years ago), the most recent interval with
a climate warmer than today, the eastern Pacific thermocline was deep and the average …

Optimal use of Mg/Ca as a paleotemperature proxy requires establishing calibrations for
different species of foraminifera and quantifying the influence of dissolution. To achieve this …

Abstract The Walker Circulation (WC) is an east-west trending band of atmospheric
circulation cells along the equator and the predominant controller of heat and moisture …

The global synchroneity of glacial‐interglacial events is one of the major problems in
understanding the link between Milankovitch forcing and the climate of the late Quaternary …

Unraveling the dynamics of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation (NHG) in the Pliocene is a
key step toward a quantitative theory of the climate transition from a greenhouse to an …

Caribbean Sea (Ocean Drilling Program [ODP] Site 999) and the equatorial east Pacific …

We provide the first continuous, orbital‐resolution sea surface temperature (SST) record
from the high‐latitude North Atlantic, a region critical to understanding the origin of the Plio …

The South China Sea is the largest low‐latitude marginal sea on the globe. For a long time,
researchers from various fields have been curious about the sea. For instance, geologists …
