Surface-circulation change in the southwest Pacific Ocean across the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum: Inferences from dinoflagellate cysts and biomarker paleothermometry
Global climate cooled from the early Eocene hothouse (∼52–50 Ma) to the latest Eocene (∼34 Ma). At the same time, the tectonic evolution of the Southern Ocean was characterized by the opening and deepening of circum-Antarctic gateways, which affected both surface- and deep-ocean circulation.
