The links between the weathering of silicate minerals, the global carbon cycle and climate change are complex and involve a whole range of often inter-related tectonic, climatic …
Earth's mightiest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), regulates the exchange of heat and carbon between the ocean and the atmosphere, and influences …
Connections between glaciation, chemical weathering, and the global carbon cycle could steer the evolution of global climate over geologic time, but even the directionality of …

Challenges in interpreting continental sequence stratigraphy and typically uncertain geochronology hinder the understanding of paleolake evolution and hydrocarbon …
Rapid global cooling at the Eocene–Oligocene Transition (EOT),~ 33.9–33.5 Ma, is widely considered to mark the onset of the modern icehouse world. A large and rapid drop in …
Deep sea geological records indicate that Antarctic ice-sheet growth and decay is strongly influenced by the Earth's astronomical variations (known as Milankovitch cycles), and that …
Sea level and deep-sea temperature variations are key indicators of global climate changes. For continuous records over millions of years, deep-sea carbonate microfossil–based δ18O …
The greenhouse-to-icehouse climate transition from the Eocene into the Oligocene is well documented by sea surface temperature records from the southwest Pacific and Antarctic …
Antarctic continental‐scale glaciation is generally assumed to have initiated at the Eocene‐ Oligocene Transition, yet its subsequent evolution is poorly constrained. We reconstruct …
