Simulation of the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum [PDF]
Proxy data constraining land and ocean surface paleo‐temperatures indicate that the Middle Miocene Climate Optimum (MMCO), a global warming event at ∼15 Ma, had a global annual mean surface temperature of 18.4°C, about 3°C higher than present and equivalent to the warming predicted for the next century.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

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

Stratigraphic implications of the Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area: Recognition of two geological formations [PDF]
The Middle Miocene of the Despotovac area contains sediments of the lower Middle Miocene (Badenian) and upper Middle Miocene (Sarmatian). The Middle Miocene deposition shows different local variations, but generally fits the evolution of the Central ...
