An international team - including scientists from the University of Edinburgh - GeoSciences - have compiled and analysed a comprehensive dataset obtained from sediment cores from the ocean floor - unravelling 66 million years of climate history.

๐ŸŒ Palaeoclimate research is always concerned with finding parallels in the past to our current climate.

๐ŸงScientists want to understand what climate conditions existed in the past, what processes lay behind them, and how they proceeded.

๐Ÿ“ขThey say, the time from 66 to 34 million years ago, when the planet was significantly warmer than it is today, is especially interesting.
