DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2018.04.054
Abstract: Abstract Significantly reduced ice coverage in Greenland and West Antarctica during the warmer-than-present Pliocene could account for ∼10 m of global mean sea level rise. Any sea level increase beyond this would require contributions from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2017.05.034
Abstract: The upper Ikego Formation (Pliocene) and the Urago Formation (Pliocene to Lower Pleistocene) have been examined for their lithostratigraphy, calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, and magnetostratigraphy. Both formations are forearc basin fills exposed on the Miura Peninsula… read more here.

Pliocene – Early Pleistocene history of the Euphrates valley applied to Late Cenozoic environment of the northern Arabian Plate and its surrounding, eastern Turkey

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2018.06.009
Abstract: Abstract The Pliocene–Quaternary paleogeography of the Euphrates River valley changed due to sinistral movements on the East-Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ) and the Taurus Ridge rise by movements on the South-Taurus Thrust. Evidence of these changes… 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.
