Congrats to Flavia and colleagues on an important (and really tough-to-get) result!

Paper Alert❗️We present the first Oligocene record of orbital variability in abyssal ocean temperature based on benthic foraminiferal clumped isotopes. Temperature changes up to 4 degrees C with a 110 kyr pacing, indicating Antarctic ice-volume at this time was less dynamic than previously thought.

For the first time, scientist discovered that the large up-and-downs in oxygen isotopes of the mid Oligocene were primarily driven by large temperature changes in the abyssal ocean and not, as previously assumed, to enormous changes in ice volume in Antarctica. 3/3 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
