A global synthesis of the marine and terrestrial evidence for glaciation during the Pliocene Epoch
The Pliocene climate is globally warm and characterised by high atmospheric carbon
dioxide concentrations, yet the terrestrial and marine scientific communities have gathered …

Climate evolution through the onset and intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation
Abstract The Pliocene Epoch (∼ 5.3–2.6 million years ago, Ma) was characterized by a
warmer than present climate with smaller Northern Hemisphere ice sheets, and offers an …

Timing and pacing of Indonesian Throughflow restriction and its connection to Late Pliocene climate shifts
The Pliocene was characterized by a gradual shift of global climate toward cooler and drier
conditions. This shift fundamentally reorganized Earth's climate from the Miocene state …

[HTML][HTML] Modelling the enigmatic late Pliocene glacial event—Marine Isotope Stage M2
Abstract The Pliocene Epoch (5.2 to 2.58 Ma) has often been targeted to investigate the
nature of warm climates. However, climate records for the Pliocene exhibit significant …

The Greenland Ice Sheet during the last glacial cycle: Current ice loss and contribution to sea-level rise from a palaeoclimatic perspective
Abstract During the Last Interglacial (LIG) period, between 130 and 116 thousand years
