Late Miocene megalake regressions in Eurasia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 The 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.

CO2-forced Late Miocene cooling and ecosystem reorganizations in East Asia. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 Significance A widespread Late Miocene reorganization of terrestrial environments between 7.5 and 5 My B.P. occurred within a global context of ocean sea surface temperature cooling (up to 6 °C) and climate change.

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.

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

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 AdvUnderstanding 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 ...

Decreasing Atmospheric CO2 During the Late Miocene Cooling [PDF]
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2020 A pronounced late Miocene cooling (LMC) from ~7 to 5.7 Ma has been documented in extratropical and tropical sea surface temperature records, but to date, available proxy evidence has not revealed a significant pCO2 decline over this event.
