Published in 2019 at "Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology"

DOI: 10.1029/2019pa003563

Abstract: Earth's climate transitioned from a warm unglaciated state to a colder glaciated “icehouse” state during the Cenozoic. Extensive ice sheets were first sustained on Antarctica at the Eocene‐Oligocene Transition (EOT, ~34 Ma), but there is… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology"

DOI: 10.1029/2023pa004809

Abstract: The Eocene‐Oligocene transition (EOT) (∼34 Ma) is marked by the rapid development of a semi‐permanent Antarctic ice‐sheet, as indicated by ice‐rafted debris and a 1–1.5‰ increase in deep sea δ18O. Proxy reconstructions indicate a drop… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "National Science Review"

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwy062

Abstract: Abstract The uplift history of south-eastern Tibet is crucial to understanding processes driving the tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding areas. Underpinning existing palaeoaltimetric studies has been regional mapping based in large part… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Palaeontology"

DOI: 10.1111/pala.70003

Abstract: At the Eocene–Oligocene transition (EOT), c. 34.44–33.65 Ma, the Earth's climate shifted from ‘greenhouse’ to ‘icehouse’ conditions. This change coincides with the first continental ice growth on Antarctica, global cooling, and widespread overturning of faunal and… read more here.
