Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free
greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …

Many palaeoclimate studies have quantified pre-anthropogenic climate change to calculate
climate sensitivity (equilibrium temperature change in response to radiative forcing change) …

Palaeoclimate reconstructions of periods with warm climates and high atmospheric CO2
concentrations are crucial for developing better projections of future climate change. Deep …

Earth's climate underwent a fundamental change between 1250 and 700 thousand years
ago, the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT), when the dominant periodicity of climate cycles …

Cenozoic temperature, sea level and CO2 covariations provide insights into climate
sensitivity to external forcings and sea-level sensitivity to climate change. Climate sensitivity …

The long-term stability of Earth's climate and the recovery of the ocean–atmosphere system
after carbon cycle perturbations are often attributed to a stabilizing negative feedback …

A vast shallow epicontinental sea extended across Eurasia and was well-connected to the
Western Tethys before it retreated westward and became isolated as the Paratethys Sea …

Abstract The Tarim Basin in western China formed the easternmost margin of a shallow
epicontinental sea that extended across Eurasia and was well connected to the western …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) was a gradual warming event and
carbon cycle perturbation that occurred between 40.5 and 40.1 Ma. A number of …

Because it lies at the intersection of Earth's solid, liquid, and gaseous components, sea level
links the dynamics of the fluid part of the planet with those of the solid part of the planet …
