Open AccessOrbital- and millennial-scale Asian winter monsoon variability across the Pliocene–Pleistocene glacial intensification
Intensification of northern hemisphere glaciation (iNHG), ~2.7 million years ago (Ma), led to establishment of the Pleistocene to present-day bipolar icehouse state. Here we document evolution of orbital- and ...

Open AccessLarge obliquity-paced Antarctic ice-volume fluctuations suggest melting by atmospheric and ocean warming during late Oligocene
The late Oligocene (~27.8–23 My ago) offers an opportunity to study past climate variability under high-CO2, warmer-than-present and the unipolar (Antarctic) glaciated state. Here, we present new high-resolution ...

Open AccessNorthern hemisphere ice sheet expansion intensified Asian aridification and the winter monsoon across the mid-Pleistocene transition
The mid-Pleistocene transition 1.25 to 0.6 million years ago marked a major shift in global climate periodicity from 41,000 to around 100,000 years without a concomitant orbital forcing shift. Here, we investi...

Sill-controlled salinity contrasts followed post-Messinian flooding of the Mediterranean
A mile-high marine cascade terminated the Messinian salinity crisis 5.33 Myr ago, due to partial collapse of the Gibraltar sill that had isolated a largely desiccated Mediterranean from the Atlantic Ocean. Atl...

Open AccessOrganic carbon burial in Mediterranean sapropels intensified during Green Sahara Periods since 3.2 Myr ago
Dark organic-rich layers (sapropels) have accumulated in Mediterranean sediments since the Miocene due to deep-sea dysoxia and enhanced carbon burial at times of intensified North African run-off during Green ...

Open AccessHigh-latitude biomes and rock weathering mediate climate–carbon cycle feedbacks on eccentricity timescales
The International Ocean Discovery Programme (IODP) and its predecessors generated a treasure trove of Cenozoic climate and carbon cycle dynamics. Yet, it remains unclear how climate and carbon cycle interacted...
