The role of eastern Tethys seaway closure in the Middle Miocene Climatic Transition (ca. 14 Ma)
The Middle Miocene Climatic Transition (MMCT, approximately 14 Ma) is a key period in Cenozoic cooling and cryospheric expansion. Despite being well documented in isotopic record, the causes of the MMCT are still a matter of debate. Among various hypotheses, some authors suggested that it was due th...
