Using Pacific benthic foraminiferal δ18O and Mg/Ca records, we derive a Cenozoic (66 Ma)
global mean sea level (GMSL) estimate that records evolution from an ice-free Early Eocene …

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 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 …

Geological evidence indicates that grounded ice sheets reached sea level at all latitudes
during two long-lived Cryogenian (58 and≥ 5 My) glaciations. Combined uranium-lead and …

During the late Miocene epoch, about seven million years ago, large areas of the continents
experienced drying, enhanced seasonality, and a restructuring of terrestrial plant and animal …

The search for alien life is hard because we do not know what signatures are unique to life.
We show why complex molecules found in high abundance are universal biosignatures and …

Event stratigraphy is used to help characterise the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphic
concept, based on analogous deep-time events, for which we provide a novel …

Only five species of the once-diverse Rhinocerotidae remain, making the reconstruction of
their evolutionary history a challenge to biologists since Darwin. We sequenced genomes …

Earth's climate has experienced strong changes on timescales ranging from decades to
millions of years. As biodiversity has evolved under these circumstances, dependence on …

Thirty years after oxygen isotope records from microfossils deposited in ocean sediments
confirmed the hypothesis that variations in the Earth's orbital geometry control the ice ages …
