Much of our understanding of Earth's past climate comes from the measurement of oxygen
and carbon isotope variations in deep-sea benthic foraminifera. Yet, long intervals in …

Abstract We present high‐resolution (2–3 kyr) benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes in a
continuous, well‐preserved sedimentary archive from the West Pacific Ocean (Ocean …

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 …

Earth has undergone profound changes since the late Pliocene, which led to the
development [~ 2.7 million years ago (Ma)] and intensification (~ 0.9 Ma) of large-scale …

In the largest global cooling event of the Cenozoic Era, between 33.8 and 33.5 Myr ago,
warm, high-CO2 conditions gave way to the variable 'icehouse'climates that prevail today …

The latitudinal temperature gradient is a fundamental state parameter of the climate system
tied to the dynamics of heat transport and radiative transfer. Thus, it is a primary target for …

Establishing what caused Earth's largest climatic changes in the past requires a precise
knowledge of both the forcing and the regional responses. We determined the chronology of …

From the time that detailed oxygen isotope records derived from foraminifera living in the
constant-temperature environment of the abyssal ocean became available, there has been a …

The occurrence of carbon isotope minima at the beginning of glacial terminations is a
common feature of planktic foraminifera carbon isotopic records from the Indo-Pacific, sub …

Earth's climate cooled markedly during the late Miocene from 12 to 5 million years ago, with
far-reaching consequences for global ecosystems. However, the driving forces of these …
