Near-tropical early eocene terrestrial temperatures at the Australo-Antarctic margin, western Tasmania
A worldwide greenhouse warm climate prevailed in the Early Eocene, and nowhere was warming more dramatic than at high latitudes. Sea-surface temperatures of ~34 °C have been estimated for a site at paleolatitude 65°S on the East Tasman Plateau of the so
