The early Eocene climate optimum (EECO) was the time of peak Cenozoic warmth with ice free poles. The EECO is an essential time interval to study climate proxies, which provide the data to test climate models under conditions of extreme greenhouse gas forcing. The relatively scarce sea surface tempe...
