Amazonian environments are being degraded by modern industrial and agricultural activities at a pace far above anything previously known, imperiling its vast biodiversity …
2 Chapter 2 assesses observed large-scale changes in climate system drivers, key climate indicators and 3 principal modes of variability. Chapter 3 considers model performance and …
Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …
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 …
Abstract The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6° C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and …
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 …

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 …
BACKGROUND Anthropogenic emissions are rapidly altering Earth's climate, pushing it toward a warmer state for which there is no historical precedent. Although no perfect analog …
