Comparison and synthesis of sea‐level and deep‐sea temperature variations over the past 40 million years
Global ice volume (sea level) and deep‐sea temperature are key measures of Earth's
climatic state. We synthesize evidence for multi‐centennial to millennial ice‐volume and …

Causes and consequences of the Messinian salinity crisis
Salt giants are massive salt deposits (hundreds of metres thick) that form during the
evaporation of semi-enclosed seas. The drivers of salt giant formation and their feedbacks …

Low-frequency orbital variations controlled climatic and environmental cycles, amplitudes, and trends in northeast Africa during the Plio-Pleistocene
The eastern Mediterranean sapropels, paced by insolation, provide a unique archive of
African monsoon strength over the Late Neogene. However, the longer-term climate of this …

Sill-controlled salinity contrasts followed post-Messinian flooding of the Mediterranean
A mile-high marine cascade terminated the Messinian salinity crisis 5.33 Myr ago, due to
partial collapse of the Gibraltar sill that had isolated a largely desiccated Mediterranean from …

Enhanced summer extreme precipitation over the Asian-African land monsoon regions during past warm periods: A modelling perspective from CESM2
X Kong, Q Yan, T Wei - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
Investigation of summer extreme precipitation during past warm periods may deepen our
understanding of its behavior in current and future warmer climates. In this study, we …

[HTML][HTML] Controls on long-term changes in bathyal bivalve biomass: the Pleistocene glacial–interglacial record in the eastern Mediterranean
The biomass of aquatic organisms largely determines the mass and energy flow within an
ecosystem, but the long-term impact of environmental change on biomass is not well …

Mid-Pliocene glaciation preceded by a 0.5-million-year North African humid period
Abstract Past North African humid periods caused expanded vegetation over the Sahara,
due to northward tropical African rainbelt displacement, opening migration pathways for …
