The Pontocaspian (Black Sea - Caspian Sea) region has a very dynamic history of basin development and biotic evolution. is the remnant once vast Paratethys Sea. It contains some best Eurasian geological records tectonic, climatic paleoenvironmental change. Pliocene-Quaternary co-evolution Black Sea-Caspian dominated by major changes in water (lake sea) levels resulting pulsating system connected isolated basins. Understanding region, including drivers lake level faunal evolution, hampered...

The late Miocene evolution of the Mediterranean Basin is characterized by major changes in connectivity, climate and tectonic activity resulting unprecedented environmental ecological disruptions. During Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC, 5.97-5.33 Ma) this culminated most scenarios first precipitation gypsum around margins (Stage 1, 5.97-5.60 subsequently > 2 km halite on basin floor, which formed so-called Salt Giant 2, 5.60-5.55 Ma). final MSC Stage 3, however, was a "low-salinity crisis",...
Geological data for the Early Eocene (56-47.8 Ma) indicate extensive global warming, with very warm temperatures at both poles. However, despite numerous attempts to simulate this warmth, there are remarkable data-model differences in prediction of these polar surface temperatures, resulting so-called 'equable climate problem'. In paper, first time an ensemble a perturbed climate-sensitive model parameters approach has been applied modelling climate. We performed more than 100 simulations...
Abstract Paleoceanographic information from submarine overflows in the vicinity of oceanic gateways is major importance for resolving role ocean circulation modulating Earth’s climate. Earth system models are currently favored way to study impact on global-scale processes, but studies overflow-related deposits more suitable understand detailed changes. Such deposits, however, had not yet been documented outcrop. Here, we present a unique late Miocene contourite channel Rifian Corridor...
Abstract. The late Miocene palaeorecord provides evidence for a warmer and wetter climate than that of today, there is uncertainty in the palaeo-CO2 record at least 200 ppm. We present results from fully coupled atmosphere-ocean-vegetation simulations examine relative roles palaeogeography (topography ice sheet geometry) CO2 concentration determination through comprehensive terrestrial model-data comparisons. Assuming these data accurately reflect climate, palaeogeographic reconstruction...
Abstract. Orbital forcing is a key climate driver over multi-millennial timescales. In particular, monsoon systems are thought to be driven by orbital cyclicity, especially precession. Here, we analyse the impact of on global with particular focus North African monsoon, carrying out an ensemble 22 equally spaced (one every 1000 years) atmosphere–ocean–vegetation simulations using HadCM3L model, covering one full late Miocene precession-driven insolation cycle varying obliquity (between 6.568...
Abstract The final stage of the Messinian salinity crisis (MSC) was characterized by brackish-water “Lago-mare” conditions in intermediate and marginal basins Mediterranean Sea. presence Paratethyan (former Black Sea) fauna these deposits has fueled long-lasting controversies over connectivity between Paratethys contemporary sea-level drops both basins. Here, we use results sub-precessional climate simulations to calculate freshwater budget Messinian. We show that, during MSC, positive,...
Abstract A global Neogene cooling trend culminated ~7 million years ago with the onset of Greenland glaciation. Increased ocean-atmosphere interaction and low- to high-latitude circulation are thought be key factors in reorganizing late Miocene temperature precipitation patterns, but drivers this reorganization have yet identified. Here, we present new information about evolution Atlantic-Mediterranean gateway that generated Mediterranean overflow. We use sedimentary palaeogeographic...
Under certain conditions the strontium isotope ratio in water of a semi‐enclosed basin is known to be sensitive relative size ocean inflow and river input. Combining Sr‐isotope ratios measured Mediterranean Late Miocene successions with data on past salinity, one can derive quantitative information hydrological budget at times before during Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). Previous studies obtained this by inverting salinity steady state solutions conservation equations salt, water. Here, we...
