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 …

The accuracy of mid-Pliocene δ18O-based ice volume and sea level reconstructions
Understanding the sensitivity of the polar ice caps to a modest global warming (2–3° C
above preindustrial) is of paramount importance if we are to accurately predict future sea …

Late Miocene climate cooling and intensification of southeast Asian winter monsoon
The late Miocene offers the opportunity to assess the sensitivity of the Earth's climate to
orbital forcing and to changing boundary conditions, such as ice volume and greenhouse …

Tightly linked zonal and meridional sea surface temperature gradients over the past five million years
AV Fedorov, NJ Burls, KT Lawrence, LC Peterson - Nature Geoscience, 2015 - nature.com
The climate of the tropics and surrounding regions is defined by pronounced zonal (east–
west) and meridional (equator to mid-latitudes) gradients in sea surface temperature. These …
