26 wrz 2016 · During the late Miocene epoch, about seven million years ago, large areas of the continents experienced drying, enhanced seasonality, and a restructuring of terrestrial plant and animal...
18 paź 2021 · During the Miocene, major global cooling occurred during two intervals: the middle Miocene (∼14–13 Ma) and the late Miocene (∼7-6 Ma). The Antarctic Ice Sheet expanded substantially at ∼14–13 Ma, and glaciation in the Northern Hemisphere was initiated at ∼7–6 Ma.
23 gru 2020 · Climate variability generally decreased during the MMCT and after ∼13 Ma (Holbourn et al., 2018) is suggestive of a more stable Antarctic ice sheet; however, major perturbations of the global carbon cycle coincident with climate shifts include the late Miocene biogenic bloom (Diester-Haass et al., 2005; Drury et al., 2018), the prolonged ...
The Late Miocene (also known as Upper Miocene) is a sub-epoch of the Miocene Epoch made up of two stages. The Tortonian and Messinian stages comprise the Late Miocene sub-epoch, which lasted from 11.63 Ma (million years ago) to 5.333 Ma.
25 lip 2022 · Earth’s climate cooled markedly during the late Miocene from 12 to 5 million years ago, with far-reaching consequences for global ecosystems. However, the driving forces of these changes remain...

26 wrz 2016 · The late Miocene cool period was detected at every site sampled, in both hemispheres and in every ocean basin on the planet. The cooling was strongest toward the poles and more moderate toward the equator.
