The marine Eocene-Oligocene transition of 34 million years ago was a critical turning point in Earth's climatic history, when the warm, high-diversity 'greenhouse' world of the early Eocene ceded to the glacial, 'icehouse' conditions of the early Oligocene. This book surveys the advances in stratigraphic and paleontological research.
