Next to atmospheric CO concentrations, ice-proximal oceanographic conditions are a critical factor for the stability of Antarctic marine-terminating ice sheets. The Oligocene and Miocene epochs (∼ 34-5 Myr ago) were time intervals with atmospheric CO concentrations between those of present-day and t...
