Temperature‐Driven Silicate Weathering Feedbacks Terminated the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Continental hydroclimate dynamics and its responses during the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO, ∼40 Ma) remain largely unexplored. Here, we present high‐resolution multi‐proxy records from four East Asian lake basins that demonstrate precipitation, chemical weathering, and terrestrial input underwent multi‐phase changes during the MECO ...
