Patterns and mechanisms of early Pliocene warmth
About five to four million years ago, in the early Pliocene epoch, Earth had a warm,
temperate climate. The gradual cooling that followed led to the establishment of modern …

The opening and closure of oceanic seaways during the Cenozoic: pacemaker of global climate change?
The opening and constriction of oceanic gateways played an essential role in shaping the
global climate throughout Earth's history. In this review, we provide an overview of the best …
