26 wrz 2016 · We find that a sustained late Miocene cooling occurred synchronously in both hemispheres, and culminated with ocean temperatures dipping to near-modern values between about 7 and 5.4 million...

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.
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 · High-latitudes saw shifts to cold-adapted floras or even floral eradication. By the late Miocene, Antarctic ice cover was extensive, possibly excluding even sparse tundra, although vegetation was still present in Wilkes Land at around 11 Ma (Anderson et al., 2011; Sangiorgi et al., 2018; Figure 4).
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...
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...
27 kwi 2021 · Miocene climate was dynamic: long periods of early and late glaciation bracketed a ∼2 Myr greenhouse interval—the Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO). Floras, faunas, ice sheets, precipitation ...
