• Effects of CO2 and Ocean Mixing on Miocene and Pliocene Temperature Gradients 

      Lohmann, GerritORCIDiD; Knorr, GregorORCIDiD; Hossain, AkilORCIDiD; Stepanek, ChristianORCIDiD (Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, 2022-02-11)
      Cenozoic climate changes have been linked to tectonic activity and variations in atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Here, we present Miocene and Pliocene sensitivity experiments performed with the climate model COSMOS. The ...
    • Sensitivity of Water Balance in the Qaidam Basin to the Mid‐Pliocene Climate 

      Wang, XunORCIDiD; Schmidt, BenjaminORCIDiD; Otto, MarcoORCIDiD; Ehlers, Todd A.ORCIDiD; Mutz, Sebastian G.ORCIDiD; Botsyun, SvetlanaORCIDiD; Scherer, DieterORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021-08-11)
      The Qaidam Basin (QB) in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau held a megalake system during the Pliocene. Today, the lower elevations in the basin are hyperarid. To understand to what extent the climate plays a role in the ...
    • Stepwise Weakening of the Pliocene Leeuwin Current 

      De Vleeschouwer, DavidORCIDiD; Petrick, Benjamin F.ORCIDiD; Martínez-García, AlfredoORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2019)
      The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) operates as an important link in global thermohaline circulation, and ITF variability probably modulated Pliocene climate change. Yet, whether ITF variability accounted for oceanographic ...
