The relationship between plant form and climate has been recognised for more than two millennia, and the idea that fossils can indicate climate change was first recorded almost a …
The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time that Earth's atmospheric CO 2 concentrations exceeded 1000 ppm. Global mean …

Abstract Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau is ultimately driven by the Cenozoic collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates and their continued convergence. One approach for studying …
The mid-Miocene climatic optimum (MMCO) is an intriguing climatic period due to its above- modern temperatures in mid-to-high latitudes in the presence of close-to-modern CO 2 …

Proxy-based quantitative estimates of Eocene climates can be made from marine isotope records for ocean conditions or fossil plants for terrestrial environment. However, our …
The Patagonian steppe—a massive rain-shadow on the lee side of the southern Andes—is assumed to have evolved~ 15–12 Myr as a consequence of the southern Andean uplift …
