Mark Clementz, a professor in the University of Wyoming Department of Geology and Geophysics, and colleagues have produced a ...

Researchers work in the field at Cerro Ballena near Caldera, Chile, as part of a study showing that an increase in volcanic activity in the Andes in the Late Miocene Epoch likely resulted in a cooling ...

Researchers have applied a temperature proxy to exceptionally well-preserved fossil phytoplankton for the first time. The ...

The vegetation in northern high latitudes was likely dense forest before cooling temperatures transformed it into grassland during the Late Miocene —a shift that further accelerated global cooling.

Timeline of atmospheric CO₂ evolution, faunal turnover, and topographic uplift during the Miocene, providing a contextual framework for interpreting ecological and climate model results. (A) ...

The Miocene is a geologic epoch of the Neogene Period, spanning approximately 23.03 to 5.33 million years ago, characterized by significant tectonic, climatic, and biotic transitions. It saw continued ...
