The early Pliocene Titiokura Formation: stratigraphy of a thick, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shelf succession in Hawke's Bay Basin, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This paper presents a systematic stratigraphic description of the architecture of the early Pliocene Titiokura Formation (emended) in the Te Waka and Maungaharuru Ranges of western Hawke's Bay, and presents a facies, sequence stratigraphic, and ...

Unraveling the mechanisms and implications of a stronger mid-Pliocene Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in PlioMIP2 [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2023
The mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264–3.025 Ma) is the most recent geological period in which the atmospheric CO2 concentration was approximately equal to the concentration we measure today (ca. 400 ppm).

Palynological evidence for a warmer boreal climate in the Late Pliocene of the Yukon Territory, Canada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Late Pliocene (3.6–2.6 Ma) was a period of significant global warmth, considered a potential analogue for future anthropogenic climate change. Newly discovered fine-grained sediments from between the gold-bearing lower and upper White Channel Gravels

IDENTIFYING UPPER MIOCENE – LOWER PLIOCENE LACUSTRINE SEDIMENTS IN DRY TUNKA BASIN OF THE BAIKAL RIFT ZONE

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2020
We present results of lithogeochemical, diatomic and palynological studies of sediments from the Tunka-13 well that was drilled in the southeastern part of dry Tunka basin in the Baikal rift zone.

Arctic sea ice simulation in the PlioMIP ensemble [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2016
Eight general circulation models have simulated the mid-Pliocene warm period (mid-Pliocene, 3.264 to 3.025 Ma) as part of the Pliocene Modelling Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP).

Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...

Contrasting carbonate depositional systems for Pliocene cool-water limestones cropping out in central Hawke's Bay, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Pliocene limestone formations in central Hawke's Bay (eastern North Island, New Zealand) accumulated on and near the margins of a narrow forearc basin seaway within the convergent Australia/Pacific plate boundary zone.

Pliocene-Pleistocene evolution of sea surface and intermediate water temperatures from the southwest Pacific [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Over the last 5 million years, the global climate system has evolved toward a colder mean state, marked by large-amplitude oscillations in continental ice volume.

Mid-Pliocene East Asian monsoon climate simulated in the PlioMIP [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2013
Based on simulations with 15 climate models in the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP), the regional climate of East Asia (focusing on China) during the mid-Pliocene is investigated in this study.
