AbstractAbout 34 million years ago, Earth's climate shifted from a relatively ice-free world to one with glacial conditions on Antarctica characterized by substantial ice sheets. How Earth's temperature changed during this climate transition remains poorly understood, and evidence for Northern Hemisphere polar ice is controversial. Here, we report proxy records of sea surface temperatures from multiple ocean localities and show that the high-latitude temperature decrease was substantial and heterogeneous. High-latitude (45 degrees to 70 degrees in both hemispheres) temperatures before the climate transition were ∼20°C and cooled an average of ∼5°C. Our results, combined with ocean and ice-sheet model simulations and benthic oxygen isotope records, indicate that Northern Hemisphere glaciation was not required to accommodate the magnitude of continental ice growth during this time.

The authors thank S. Schouten and E. Hopmans for their assistance in establishing an interlaboratory calibration, J. Eldrett for advice on the site 913 age model, M. Woodruff of the University of Massachussetts Stable Isotope Facility for analyses of site 511 material, and Integrated Ocean Drilling Program for providing samples. The reviews of P. Wilson and one anonymous referee greatly improved the manuscript. This work was supported by a postdoctoral fellowship provided by Yale University and a Major Research Instrumentation grant from NSF. Computing was performed on Rosen Center for Advanced Computing resources within Information Technology at Purdue.
