Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) was a gradual warming event and
carbon cycle perturbation that occurred between 40.5 and 40.1 Ma. A number of …

The early Cenozoic marine sedimentary record is punctuated by several brief episodes (<
200 kyr) of abrupt global warming, called hyperthermals, that have disturbed ocean life and …

Over the last four decades, organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts have shown high potential as
tracers of past sea-surface conditions during the Quaternary. These microfossils relate to the …

The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO), a~ 500 kyr episode of global warming that
initiated at~ 40.5 Ma, is postulated to be driven by a net increase in volcanic carbon input …

Microfossils from plankton are used for paleoceanographic reconstructions. An often‐made
assumption in quantitative microplankton‐based paleoceanographic reconstructions is that …

We present here new quantitative analyses of planktic and benthic foraminifera to assess
the impact of the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO,~ 40 Ma) on these biotic groups …

Mesozoic–Cenozoic organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst (dinocyst) biostratigraphy is a crucial
tool for relative and numerical age control in complex ancient sedimentary systems …

Abstract The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) was an unusual global warming
event that interrupted the long‐term Eocene cooling trend ca. 40 Ma. Here we present new …

Phytoplankton responses to a∼ 350 kyr (kiloyear) long phase of gradual late Maastrichtian
(latest Cretaceous) global warming starting at∼ 66.4 Ma can provide valuable insights into …

The Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO) at ca. 40 Ma is one of the largest of the
transient Eocene global warming events. However, it is relatively poorly known from tropical …
