High-resolution global bathymetry grids for key Cretaceous and early Cenozoic climate stages
Maintenance and Update Frequency: quarterly Statement: The paleobathymetry in this study is reconstructed for 38 Ma, using the plate tectonic model of Matthews et al. (2016)(31) in a paleomagnetic reference frame(32,33). Bathymetry at latitudes >40 °S is reconstructed following Hochmuth et al. (2...
