TL;DR: In this paper, the main features of the climate and climate variability over South America, on the basis of instrumental observations gathered during the 20th century, are described and a basic physical understanding of the mean annual cycle of the precipitation and atmospheric circulation over the continent and the adjacent oceans.

TL;DR: The early stages of the middle Miocene were marked by major short term variations in global climates, East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) volume, sea level, and deep ocean circulation, including increased production of Southern Component Water as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed record of climate changes during the last 2.5 million years in central China has been provided, at least 44 major shifts from glacial to interglacial conditions occurred during this time in China.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the upwelling and anoxic environments of the C/T black shales and sapropels and concluded that the major driving force for the widespread occurrence of these shales seems to be the increase in volcanic activity and associated CO2-input throughout the Cretaceous.

TL;DR: Hardie et al. as discussed by the authors have shown that high-Mg calcite should precipitate along with aragonite, as it does in today's aragonitic sea.
