DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.08.038
Abstract: Abstract Multiple short-lived global warming events, known as hyperthermals, occurred during the early Eocene (56–52 Ma). Five of these events – the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM or ETM1), H1 (or ETM2), H2, I1, and I2… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2021.117101
Abstract: Abstract The Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a period of intense global warming that began ∼55.9 million years ago and lasted about 170,000 yrs. Various mechanisms have been proposed to cause this warming, including the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2019.02.007
Abstract: Abstract Recent studies based on proxy records and paleoclimate simulations have suggested monsoon climate in Asia as early as the Eocene. However, good proxy record of Eocene monsoon is rare in eastern Asia where East… read more here.
