A new global biome reconstruction and data‐model comparison for the Middle Pliocene
Aim To produce a robust, comprehensive global biome reconstruction for the Middle Pliocene (c. 3.6–2.6 Ma), which is based on an internally consistent palaeobotanical data set and a…

High‐amplitude variations in North Atlantic sea surface temperature during the early Pliocene warm period
[1] We provide the first continuous, orbital-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) record from the high-latitude North Atlantic, a region critical to understanding the origin of the…

Large-scale features of Pliocene climate: results from the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project
Climate and environments of the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264 to 3.025 Ma) have been extensively studied. Whilst numerical models have shed light on the nature of climate at the time, uncertainties…

Earth system sensitivity inferred from Pliocene modelling and data
Quantifying the equilibrium response of global temperatures to an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations is one of the cornerstones of climate research. Components of the Earth’s…

Closure of the Panama Seaway during the Pliocene: implications for climate and Northern Hemisphere glaciation
The “Panama Hypothesis” states that the gradual closure of the Panama Seaway, between 13 million years ago (13 Ma) and 2.6 Ma, led to decreased mixing of Atlantic and Pacific water Masses, the…

Quaternary climate changes explain diversity among reptiles and amphibians
It is widely believed that contemporary climate determines large-scale patterns of species richness. An alternative view proposes that species richness reflects biotic responses to historic climate…

Integrating geological archives and climate models for the mid-Pliocene warm period
TLDR
The mid-Pliocene Warm Period is considered a test-bed for the predictive capability of climate models and recent and future advances in the context of proxy data/model integration are discussed.
