DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.05.012
Abstract: Abstract We investigate the response of the central equatorial Indian Ocean (ODP Site 716, Maldives) upwelling system to orbital forcing between 3.64 and 4.19 Ma. This time interval in the early Pliocene was characterized by global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.palaeo.2019.109454
Abstract: Abstract C4-grasslands are known to have first expanded globally in the Late Miocene, and recent research has hinted at a second expansion phase during the Early Pliocene; however, the geographic extent of this second event… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl085504
Abstract: El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the strongest mode of interannual climate variability, and its predicted response to anthropogenic climate change remains unclear. Determining ENSO's sensitivity to climatic mean state and the strength of positive and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021pa004211
Abstract: The East and South Asian summer monsoons affect billions of people but a multitude of potential variables have precluded definitive attribution of their controlling mechanisms and hindered models of their evolution in an anthropogenically warmed… read more here.
