Evidence for limited atmospheric CO2 rise at the onset of the Miocene Climatic Optimum
The Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO; 16.9 – 14.7 Ma) was a relatively warm period with atmospheric CO2 averaging ~500 ppmv. However, no proxy-records are available to assess CO2 across the onset of the MCO and its relation to sea surface temperature (SS
