Summary: The largest megalake in the late Miocene Eurasia experienced several episodes of hydrological instability and partial desiccation, with major regressions correlating with aridification events, vegetation changes and faunal turnovers in Europe. The Paratethys Sea was profoundly transformed during regression episodes, losing significant water volume and surface area. Partial desiccations of the megalake matched with climate, food-web and landscape changes throughout Eurasia, although the exact triggers and mechanisms remain unresolved.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of the Paratethys water body on the Eurasian climate during the middle and late Miocene period. The results show three exceptionally evaporative intervals at 9.65, 9.4, and 7.9 Ma, which are associated with aridity, increased fire activity, and changes in vegetation. The data suggest a strong regional imprint on climate patterns and evidence of severe droughts affecting the late Miocene circum-Paratethys region.

Summary: Volcanic ash layers can serve as important time markers in the geological record for reconstructing paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic, and paleogeographic conditions. This study provides geochronological and geochemical data for the Gorelka tephra, a significant marker for a major marine transgression in the Eastern Paratethys Sea during the Miocene. The eruption age of the Gorelka tephra has been constrained to 11.5 +/- 0.5 Ma, and its characteristics suggest a large-scale eruption from a volcanic source in the Transcarpathian region.

Summary: This study focuses on the palaeoenvironmental and chronostratigraphic study of the Neuhofen Formation at Mitterdorf, Germany. The presence of nannoplankton zones NN3 and NN4 necessitated a reinterpretation of the existing magnetostratigraphic data. The results suggest that the 3rd order sea level highstand at 17.85 Ma had an impact on the environment, and a transition from eutrophic, open marine to mesotrophic, shallow marine conditions occurred at 17.67 Ma.

Summary: The Cenozoic succession in the Lower Kura Basin consists of uniform, often carbonate-free mudstones. The age dating of these sediments is difficult, resulting in limited knowledge of the stratigraphy and distribution of organic-rich strata. Understanding the Cenozoic succession is crucial for petroleum systems analysis and the knowledge of the Cenozoic evolution of the Caucasus region.

Summary: The reorganisation of global climate in the late Pliocene triggered a transition to glacial-interglacial cyclicity in the Quaternary, impacting precipitation patterns over Eurasia. The geological record of the Caspian Sea holds potential for tracing atmospheric precipitation changes, with two major palaeohydrological events leading to an expansion of the sea surface area and enabling faunal dispersals. The new unified age model for the Akchagylian Stage provides constraints for a shorter time frame than previously thought, urging a reconsideration of the ages of archaeological and mammalian sites in the Caspian region.

Summary: The Zaysan Basin in Central Asia has a rich fossil record from the Miocene period, which includes various groups of vertebrates. The study of fish, reptile, and mammal fossils reveals a diverse vertebrate assemblage in the basin. The analysis of fish and mammal remains suggests an Early Miocene age for the Zaysan Formation, contrary to previous beliefs. The findings also confirm the existence of a lacustrine ecosystem with diverse trophic relations, making it an important center of biodiversity in the Miocene of Central Asia.

Summary: We investigate the relationship between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in the Atlas of Morocco. Multiple strands of observations are combined to understand the interactions between crustal and mantle processes during the Atlas' orogeny. The study finds that a mantle plume and related volcanism weakened the lithosphere, leading to crustal shortening along pre-existing structures.

Summary: This study analyzes new petrographic and thermochronologic data from 152 samples in three basins (Para-Maranhao, Barreirinhas, and Ceara) on the equatorial margin of Brazil. The study reveals three evolutionary phases in this region: a rift phase, a post-rift phase during the Late Cretaceous-Palaeogene period, and a post-rift phase since the Late Oligocene. The study estimates that exhumation in this area has reached up to 2-2.5 km since the Late Cretaceous and has not exceeded 1 km since the Late Oligocene.

Summary: The cause of ice-age cycles is still not fully understood, and studying the timing and magnitude of mountain glaciations can provide valuable insights. This study presents new dating results from the Niqingqu Valley in the Tibetan Plateau, showing multiple glacial activities prior to the Penultimate Glacial Maximum. The findings suggest that low atmospheric CO2 content and reduced summer solar insolation/high summer-monsoon precipitation played a role in these glacial fluctuations.

Summary: Through sediment records from Lake Nanyi in the lower Yangtze, we found that anthropogenic fire activity played a dominant role in the region, and the temporal pattern of fire activity was asynchronous from east to west. Archaeological evidence suggests an inverse relationship between agricultural and population levels and fire intensity during the mid-Holocene, with fire intensity being influenced by the diversity of landscape types associated with pre-historic subsistence patterns. Overall, changes in regional water-level delayed the transition from hunting-gathering to agriculture in the lower Yangtze region.

Summary: This paper argues that sessile barnacles are an excellent proxy for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. The shells of barnacles consist of diagenetically stable low-magnesium calcite and record short-term variations. Analyses of several Western Mediterranean barnacle-rich deposits demonstrate the utility of barnacles as proxies for water depth, distance from the coastline, and hydrodynamic conditions. Moreover, the stable isotope ratios of barnacle shells can provide detailed palaeoenvironmental information.

Summary: The Late Ordovician mass extinction occurred during an ice age, with maximum ice coverage and a substantial drop in global sea level. This led to the exposure or shallowing of shallow tropical shelf environments. The study suggests that the burial rate of nutrient phosphorus (P) on shelves was minimal during this glacial period, leading to excess bioavailable P entering the open ocean and stimulating phytoplankton production, which in turn lowered oxygen concentrations.
