Current understanding of the long-term carbon cycle posits that Earth's climate is stabilized by a negative feedback involving CO 2 consumption by chemical weathering of silicate …

As the world warms due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations, the Earth system moves toward climate states without societal precedent, challenging adaptation. Past Earth system …
The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; 56 Ma) is one of our best geological analogs for understanding climate dynamics in a “greenhouse” world. However, proxy data …
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 …
The Early Eocene, a period of elevated atmospheric CO2 (> 1000 ppmv), is considered an analog for future climate. Previous modeling attempts have been unable to reproduce major …

We present results from an ensemble of eight climate models, each of which has carried out simulations of the early Eocene climate optimum (EECO,∼ 50 million years ago). These …
Accurate estimates of past global mean surface temperature (GMST) help to contextualise future climate change and are required to estimate the sensitivity of the climate system to …
Past greenhouse periods with elevated atmospheric CO2 were characterized by globally warmer sea-surface temperatures (SST). However, the extent to which the high latitudes …
Abstract The Miocene epoch, spanning 23.03–5.33 Ma, was a dynamic climate of sustained, polar amplified warmth. Miocene atmospheric CO2 concentrations are typically …
