Links between CO2, glaciation and water flow: reconciling the Cenozoic history of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]
The timing of the onset of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is a crucial event of the Cenozoic because of its cooling and isolating effect over Antarctica.

Bridging the knowledge gap on the evolution of the Asian monsoon during 26–16 Ma
Summary: The evolution of the Asian monsoon from the Late Oligocene to the Early Miocene is poorly understood. Here, we first reconstruct the precipitation data of central Tibet during 26–16 million years ago (Ma), applying the coexistence approach to ...
