Global climate forcing on late Miocene establishment of the Pampean aeolian system in South America [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
Wind-blown dust from southern South America links the terrestrial, marine, atmospheric, and biological components of Earth’s climate system. The Pampas of central Argentina (~33°–39° S) contain a Miocene to Holocene aeolian record that spans an important

Late Miocene megalake regressions in Eurasia. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
AbstractThe largest megalake in the geological record formed in Eurasia during the late Miocene, when the epicontinental Paratethys Sea became tectonically-trapped and disconnected from the global ocean. The megalake was characterized by several episodes of hydrological instability and partial desiccation, but the chronology, magnitude and impacts of ...

Molecular phylogeny of mega-diverse Carabus attests late Miocene evolution of alpine environments in the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
The timing, sequence, and scale of uplift of the Himalayan–Tibetan Orogen (HTO) are controversially debated. Many geoscientific studies assume paleoelevations close to present-day elevations and the existence of alpine environments across the HTO already

Late Miocene transformation of Mediterranean Sea biodiversity. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Understanding deep-time marine biodiversity change under the combined effects of climate and connectivity changes is fundamental for predicting the impacts of modern climate change in semi-enclosed seas. We quantify the Late Miocene–Early Pliocene [11.63 to 3.6 million years (Ma)] taxonomic diversity of the Mediterranean Sea for calcareous ...

Vegetation feedbacks accelerated the late Miocene climate transition. [PDF]

Sci Adv
The late Miocene was an important stage for the formation of modern-like ecological and environmental patterns. Proxy data from the middle to late Miocene reveal that large-scale cooling and drying occurred; however, the reasons for this climate transition remain unclear.

?Amphictis (Carnivora, Ailuridae) from the Belgrade Formation of North Carolina, USA [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Miocene terrestrial mammals are poorly known from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Fossils of the Order Carnivora from this time and region are especially rare.

The relative roles of CO₂ and palaeogeography in determining late Miocene climate: results from a terrestrial model–data comparison [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2012
The late Miocene palaeorecord provides evidence for a warmer and wetter climate than that of today, and there is uncertainty in the palaeo-CO2 record of at least 200 ppm.

Stratigraphic sequence characteristics and geochronology research progress of the Cenozoic in the arcuate tectonic belt on the northeastern margin of the Tibet Plateau

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
The Cenozoic tectonic deformation and sedimentary processes in the arcuate tectonic belt along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau have been influenced by the remote effect of the subduction of the Pacific Plate as well as controlled by the ...

Geodynamic Controls on Basaltic Volcanism in the Arabian Peninsula: Evolution of Harrat Uwayrid, Saudi Arabia

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Basaltic lavas from Harrat Uwayrid, Saudi Arabia, record the evolving magmatic and tectonic context of the Arabian Peninsula from at least the mid‐Miocene to the present day.

Neogene spore-pollen assemblages and paleovegetation succession of Borehole ZKA02 in Beihai, Guangxi

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
The history of vegetation and climate change during the Cenozoic has been reconstructed by systematically analyzing the sporopollen assemblage from Borehole ZKA02 in Beihai, Guangxi. Through the analysis of spore-pollen data, four sporopollen assemblages
