During the Pliocene (5.33−2.58 Ma), the NE Atlantic and Nordic Seas witnessed a transition from enhanced warming, whereby surface temperatures were up to 8°C warmer than present, to cooling associated with the intensification of the Northern Hemisphere Glaciation. Currently, there are few reliable m...
