Growth of the Maritime Continent and its possible contribution to recurring Ice Ages
P Molnar, TW Cronin - Paleoceanography, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The areal extent of the Maritime Continent (the islands of Indonesia and surrounding region)
has grown larger by~ 60% since 5 Ma. We argue that this growth might have altered global …
