Tectonic significance of changes in post-subduction Pliocene-Quaternary magmatism in the south east part of the Carpathian-Pannonian Region [PDF]
The south-eastern part of the Carpathian–Pannonian region records the cessation of convergence between the European platform/Moesia and the Tisza–Dacia microplate.

Abstract During the early Paleogene, the Arctic Ocean existed in a warm yet restricted freshwater regime, with episodic strong freshening leading to proliferation of the freshwater‐adapted Azolla at basal middle Eocene times (49–48 Ma). The Kara Strait, located between the Arctic Ocean and the West Siberian Sea (WSS), facilitated an open central ...

Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.

A major reorganization of Asian climate by the early Miocene [PDF]
The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In Asia, these include the climate transformation from a zonal pattern to a <i>monsoon-dominated pattern</i>, the disappearance of typical subtropical ...

The Initial Opening of the Drake Passage Occurred During ca. 62‐59 Ma
Abstract Although the Drake Passage has been considered a critical component of ocean circulation and climate, its initial opening age remains controversial due to the weak constraints on the paleoposition of the Antarctic Peninsula. Here, new zircon U‐Pb geochronological studies are conducted on the Barchans Islands, providing a critical age ...

Abstract A structural analysis of intra‐montane basins establishes the deformation field of the southwestern Tian Shan, that part of the Tian Shan that faces the Pamir and thus the deformation that the Indian mantle‐lithosphere indenter beneath the Pamir imposes—northward indentation and westward crustal collapse.

Paleoenvironmental and stratigraphic investigations of the foraminiferal fauna from the Karpatian (Lower Miocene) Garáb Schlier Formation of the Mátraverebély-122 (Mv-122) borehole (North Hungary) [PDF]
The Garáb Schlier Formation is composed of gray sand, silt, clay and clay marl, deposited in an open marine environment. The aims of this study were to reconstruct its paleoenvironmental features and to propose a hypostratotype of the Garáb Schlier ...

Abstract The Squalodontidae are one of the most historic families within the Cetacea, given that Squalodon was first named in 1840. Since Squalodon's initial description, workers in the 1800s were eager to assign heterodont cetacean teeth to this family; as a result, it became a wastebasket with many species based on fragmentary remains.
