Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT) was a climate shift from a largely ice-free greenhouse world to an icehouse climate, involving the first major glaciation of Antarctica …
Abstract The Weddell Gyre (WG) is one of the main oceanographic features of the Southern Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which plays an influential role in global …
A 617 site palaeobotanical dataset for the Mid to Late Miocene is presented. This dataset is internally consistent and provides a comprehensive overview of vegetational change from …
The warmest global climates of the past 65 million years occurred during the early Eocene epoch (about 55 to 48 million years ago), when the Equator-to-pole temperature gradients …

This review explores the evolution of extant South American tropical biomes, focusing on when and why they developed. Tropical vegetation experienced a radical transformation …
The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …
The Pliocene climate is globally warm and characterised by high atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations, yet the terrestrial and marine scientific communities have gathered …
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 …
The Scotia arc is the eastward-closing loop of mountains and locally emergent submarine ridges extending from the southernmost Andes through the active South Sandwich volcanic …
