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
gas concentrations, on a warmer-than-modern Earth. Here we investigate the relationships
between low-and high-latitude climate variability in an extended succession from the
subtropical northwestern Pacific Ocean. Our high-resolution benthic isotope record in
combination with paired mixed layer isotope and Mg/Ca-derived temperature data reveal …
