Abstract The Walker Circulation (WC) is an east-west trending band of atmospheric
circulation cells along the equator and the predominant controller of heat and moisture …

The tectonically complex Indonesian Gateway is part of the global thermohaline circulation
and exerts a major control on climate. Waters from the Pacific flow through the Indonesian …

Global cooling began since 50 Ma, but a warm climate was maintained in the archipelagic
tectonic system in Southeast Asia where a wealth of Cenozoic oil and gas resources was …

Bottom currents play a major role in deep‐sea sedimentation, but their significance in the
burial of organic carbon is poorly quantified at a global scale. Here we show that Holocene …

Baleen whales (mysticetes) include the largest animals on the Earth. How they achieved
such gigantic sizes remains debated, with previous research focusing primarily on when …

Bottom current deposits (contourites) form in association with modern-day or ancient
oceanic gateways. A paucity of examples in the ancient record and the lack of consensus on …

The ongoing debate on the causes and modalities of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC)
from 5.971 Ma needs to be implemented by an in-depth knowledge of the events and …

How plate tectonics may affect full-depth ocean/sea circulation is not well understood. We
used seismic data plus drilling/core and geomorphologic data to examine the influence of …

Abstract The late Miocene‐early Pliocene (7.4‐4.5 Ma) is a key interval in Earth's history
where intense reorganization of atmospheric and ocean circulation occurred within a global …

Straits and seaways are connections between basins, key areas for exchange and transfer
of water, heat, biota and sediments, and they can influence regional and global climate. A …
