A Song of Ice and a Warm Southern Ocean: The paleoceanographic evolution of the Oligocene–Miocene Southern Ocean

This paper is the 5th and last paper from my PhD at #utrechtuniversity, reconstructing frontal systems and environmental conditions as the Tasmanian Gateway and Drake Passage widened from the Eocene to Miocene using new TEX86 SSTs and dinoflagellate cyst data dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/...

Late Cenozoic sea-surface-temperature evolution of the South Atlantic Ocean Abstract. At present, a strong latitudinal sea-surface-temperature (SST) gradient of ∼ 16 ∘C exists across the Southern Ocean, maintained by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and a set of comple...

We generated new palynological records from marine sediment cores from the South Atlantic; #IcebergAlley IODP Site U1536, ODP Site 696 and piston cores from Maurice Ewing Bank, paired with our #GDGT SST records from the same Sites (Hoem et al., doi.org/10.5194/cp-1...)

Stepwise Oligocene–Miocene breakdown of subpolar gyres and strengthening of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current Abstract. Through the Cenozoic (66–0 Ma), the dominant mode of ocean surface circulation in the Southern Ocean transitioned from two large subpolar gyres to circumpolar circulation with a strong Antar...

Paper out today 🚨 Our Oligocene–Miocene dinocyst-based analysis reveals how subpolar gyres broke down and #SouthernOcean circulation evolved 🌊 shaping modern Antarctic Circumpolar Current, deepwater formation and sea ice 🔬🧊

👋 fellow nerds, I analyse 🔬microfossils (forams and dinocysts) and biomarkers 🦠 in marine sediments ⛴️ to unravel ocean 🌊structure, circulation, nutrient and oxygen cycling and primary productivity 🐟 during periods of warm climate (Pliocene) at Uni.Bergen @bjerknes.bsky.social Norway 🏔️ #AMOC #SciComm

Thank you! in such good company 🤩
