The Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM; ~55.5 Ma) is a geologically relatively brief episode of extreme warmth. Both deep and surface ocean temperatures increased by up to 5 °C in equatorial waters and up to 8 °C in mid and high latitude waters. From the continents, the annual mean air temperat...
