Christian Stepanek The Pliocene is seen in many ways as a possible analogue of future warm climate states. The question of the characteristics and of the dynamics of the climate of the Pliocene thus becomes [...] climate states of the Pliocene, sensitivity studies are also taken into account. These allow a better understanding of the climate of the Pliocene in the context of the climate forcings of the future. This [...] regions in the form of prepared, printable graphics and maps as well as their raw data, the preparation of the basics and knowledge on the topic of sea ice as well as the current expert assessment of the sea

In the Northern Hemisphere, the ocean gradually freezes over in the course of the long Polar [...] near the end of winter. At this point, the Arctic Ocean is completely covered in ice from between the coasts of Canada, Alaska and Siberia to the eastern coast of Greenland. When the sun returns, the ice [...] the formation and melting of sea ice affect the atmosphere and the ocean, and with them, the climate, in a variety of ways. The ice reflects the majority of incoming sunlight back into space. In contrast

The fragmentation of the Manihiki Plateau poses the question, whether distinct phases of magmatic or tectonic processes led to the deformation of the Manihiki Plateau [...] suggested that the Ontong-Java Plateau was connected to the Manihiki Plateau at the Western Plateaus and drifted towards the west. Overview map of the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of the Manihiki Plateau [...] development of the Manihiki Plateau We try to unravel the relationship between the two largest sub-provinces of the Manihiki Plateau, the Western Plateaus and the High Plateau, which are separated by the Danger

Moreover, the 5–10,000-yr intervals between the events are inconsistent with Milankovitch orbital periodicities, raising the question of what the ultimate cause of the postulated cooling may [...] not only in the region of the North Atlantic Ocean but also in remote areas such as the Pacific Ocean and the Antarctic.

Of course, we had to convince our partners of that plan [...] much faster than the rest of the world, and what the future holds – this is internation- ally recognised as one of the great- est problems facing humanity, and most certainly one of the most im- portant [...] ozone sonde.

that the theory is correct. Wegener got profoundly involved in the matter. We have proof of his meticulousness in that we possess his personal copy of the first edition of his book “The Formation of Continents [...] elements in the Earth’s crust. He called one of them sial and the other sima. Wegener assumed that the oceans were composed of a heavier material than the continents. He thus presumed that the lighter continents [...] continents float on the heavier subsurface, like ice floes on the water. That was the core of his idea! It was associated with the concept of so-called isostasy. This says land bridges or the like couldn’t come

The Kerguelen Plateau rises up 2000 m above the surrounding seafloor and hence forms an obstacle for the flow of the Antarctic [...] region in the southern Indian Ocean the complex topography of the Kerguelen Plateau, one of the world’s largest Large Igneous Provinces, has a strong influence on pathways of water masses within the Antarctic [...] information on the Cretaceous and Tertiary development of the AABW and its influence on the path of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. This in turn will allow conclusions on the development of the East Antarctic
