The middle Miocene Climatic Transition (~14 Ma) is commonly interpreted to represent the significant advance of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS), and the transition to a hyper-arid climate and a stable polar-styled ice sheet. However, an increasing number of studies provide evidence for continued...
