The Pliocene epoch (5.33-2.58 mya) is frequently studied in paleoclimatology because its climate conditions are similar to present and near future scenarios (Federov et al., 2013). Characterizing the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet during the Pliocene is therefore essential for building models...
