Tectonic forcing of late Cenozoic climate
TL;DR: In particular, tectonically driven increases in chemical weathering may have resulted in a decrease of atmospheric C02 concentration over the past 40 Myr as discussed by the authors. But this was not shown to be the case for the uplift of the Tibetan plateau and positive feedbacks initiated by this event.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cenozoic evolution of Antarctic glaciation the Circum-Antarctic Ocean and their impact on global paleoceanography
TL;DR: Deep-sea drilling in the Antarctic region (Deep-Sea Drilling Project legs 28, 29, 35, and 36) has provided many new data about the development of circum-Antarctic circulation and closely related glacial evolution of Antarctica as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forcing of late Cenozoic northern hemisphere climate by plateau uplift in southern Asia and the American west
TL;DR: In this article, the General Circulation Model sensitivity tests were run to isolate the unique effects of plateau uplift on climate, and the experiments simulated significant climatic changes in many places, some far from the uplifted regions.
BookDOI
Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution
TL;DR: The transition from the Eocene to the Oligocene epoch was the most significant event in Earth history since the extinction of dinosaurs as mentioned in this paper, and the separation of Antarctica from Australia was a critical factor in changing oceanic circulation and ultimately world climate.

A warm equable cretaceous: the nature of the problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the nature of the problem of warm equable paleoclimates by investigating the mid-Cretaceous period, and defined the limitations of critical importance in understanding paleo-climate.
