It is shown that sea surface temperatures near the North Pole increased from ∼18 °C to over 23°C during this event, which suggests that higher-than-modern greenhouse gas concentrations must have operated in conjunction with other feedback mechanisms—perhaps polar stratospheric clouds or hurricane-induced ocean mixing—to amplify early Palaeogene polar temperatures.

[1] Tectonic changes that produced a deep Tasmanian Gateway between Australia and Antarctica are widely invoked as the major mechanism for Antarctic cryosphere growth and Antarctic Circumpolar…

This work presents a uniquely continuous and chronostratigraphically well-calibrated TEX86 record of sea surface temperature (SST) from an ocean sediment core in the East Tasman Plateau, and shows that southwest Pacific SSTs rose above present-day tropical values and had gradually decreased to about 21 °C by the early Late Eocene age.

Changes in sea surface temperature (SST) during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Max- imum (PETM) have been estimated primarily from oxygen isotope and Mg/Ca records generated from deep-sea cores. Here…
