Abstract:
Abstract Seven living species of passerines are identified or tentatively identified from the early Pliocene Fox Canyon locality (4.3–4.8 mya), Rexroad Formation, Meade Basin, southwestern Kansas. All seven species occur in Kansas today, primarily as winter residents or transients, and their migratory behavior may extend to the early Pliocene as well. A review of all known passerines from the Neogene of North America indicates that many modern taxa began to appear in the early Pliocene, much earlier than previously believed. This fossil evidence agrees with some mitochondrial DNA analyses for the estimated age of divergence for living species of longspurs (Calcarius lapponicus and C. mccownii), but similar estimates for the divergence of C. ornatus using cytochrome-b analyses is at least 3 my younger than indicated by the fossil evidence. The fossil songbirds, as well as other vertebrate taxa from the Meade Basin, also indicate a paleoenvironment of short-grass prairie and shrubland with wetlands and ponds nearby, similar to that found in the area today. This prairie-steppe habitat first appeared in the Meade Basin by the early Pliocene and remained relatively stable until the Pleistocene, when it periodically appeared and disappeared with climate change. High seasonal productivity associated with this habitat in the early Pliocene may have promoted migratory behavior and speciation events in songbirds during a period of relative climatic stasis.

Abstract. Following proxy observations of weakened temperature gradients along the Equator in the early Pliocene, there has been much speculation about Pliocene climate variability. A major advance for our knowledge about the later Pliocene has been the coordination of modelling efforts through the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP). Here the changes in interannual modes of sea surface temperature variability will be presented across PlioMIP. Previously model ensembles have shown little consensus in the response of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) to imposed forcings – either for the past or future. The PlioMIP ensemble, however, shows surprising agreement with eight models simulating reduced variability and only one model indicating no change. The Pliocene's robustly weaker ENSO also saw a shift to lower frequencies. Model ensembles focussed at a wide variety of forcing scenarios have not yet shown this level of coherency. Nonetheless the PlioMIP ensemble does not show a robust response of either ENSO flavour or sea surface temperature variability in the Tropical Indian and North Pacific Oceans. Existing suggestions of ENSO properties linked to changes in zonal temperature gradient, seasonal cycle and the elevation of the Andes Mountains are investigated, yet prove insufficient to explain the coherent response. The reason for this surprisingly coherent signal warrants further investigation.

Abstract:
Abstract. Eight general circulation models have simulated the mid-Pliocene warm period (mid-Pliocene, 3.264 to 3.025 Ma) as part of the Pliocene Modelling Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP). Here, we analyse and compare their simulation of Arctic sea ice for both the pre-industrial period and the mid-Pliocene. Mid-Pliocene sea ice thickness and extent is reduced, and the model spread of extent is more than twice the pre-industrial spread in some summer months. Half of the PlioMIP models simulate ice-free conditions in the mid-Pliocene. This spread amongst the ensemble is in line with the uncertainties amongst proxy reconstructions for mid-Pliocene sea ice extent. Correlations between mid-Pliocene Arctic temperatures and sea ice extents are almost twice as strong as the equivalent correlations for the pre-industrial simulations. The need for more comprehensive sea ice proxy data is highlighted, in order to better compare model performances.

Abstract Reconstruction of the composition and organisation of the late Pliocene vegetation in central Mediterranean and quantification of the climatic requirements of its main representatives allow temperature and precipitation estimates during the late Pliocene glacial/interglacial cycles, at ca 2.4 Ma. The late Pliocene climatic glacial and interglacial conditions are illustrated on a bioclimagram which correlates the mean annual temperature and precipitation criteria. Comparison between modern and late Pliocene vegetation indicates that late Pliocene interglacial climate was approximately 4 degrees C warmer, with more higher amount of precipitation than today, and that conditions similar to modern ones prevailed during late Pliocene glacials.

Abstract:
The Pliocene era could be the last time when sandfly (Diptera: Psychodidae) species were widespread in Europe. Within the Pliocene, the mid-Pliocene period is an important model period in the investigation of the future effects of anthropogenic climate change. In this study, the mid-Pliocene potential distribution of six Mediterranean sandfly species was modelled based on the M2 mid-Pliocene cold and mid-Pliocene warm paleoclimatic reconstructions. It was found that the cold period’s potential occurrence of sandfly species could be notably more extended than the distribution of the taxa in the warm period. The difference is less expressed in the case of the West Mediterranean species, but it is particularly visible in the circum-Mediterranean and East Mediterranean taxa. It can be concluded that not the changes in the mean annual temperature, but the increase of the precipitation patterns and the wetter climate of the mid-Pliocene warm period resulted in the observed differences. The results imply that the use of mid-Pliocene warming as a model of the present climatic changes can be handled with caution in the performing of biogeographic proxies for vector sandflies related to the anthropogenic climate change.

Abstract:
Here I focus on the construction of high-resolution nannofossil records, in addition to carbonate preservation, isotope, and other environmental proxy records, for the equatorial Atlantic ODP Sites 662, 926 and 929, and the sub-equatorial Atlantic Site 659. This integrated study demonstrates the detailed character of he nannofossil populations (overall abundance, evolution and morphometric patterns). It also allows an assessment to be made of the stratigraphic and evolutionary importance of nannoplankton events during the mid Pliocene from 3.45-3.95 Ma. The mid Pliocene is demonstrated here to be an interval of subtle reorganisation characterised by the last occurrences of Sphenolithus sp. and Reticulofenestra pseudoumbilicus. The mid Pliocene lies in a wider interval of progressive extinctions of warm water, oligotrophic taxa associated with climatic deterioration from the Late Pliocene to Recent. Nannofossil sediment assemblages are controlled by both the initial production of the nannoplankton in the surface waters and dissolution (in the water column and pre- and post-burial). By the comparison of synchronous nannofossil and non-nannofossil records from Ceara Rise Sites 929 (4397 m water depth) with Site 926 (3598 m water depth), an ecologically dominated assemblage can be clearly distinguished from one that has experienced significant subsequent taphonomic overprinting by dissolution. The latter is differentiated by the number of co-varying relationships, the taxa that form those co-varying relationships, the coupling of dissolution indices with each other and with the co-varying nannofossil abundances, and the loss or reduction of dissolution-susceptible taxa. In non-dissolution influenced populations, two main signals are found to shape the downcore variability in nannofossil assemblages. The main signal is an evolutionary trend. To a lesser extent, the signal is dominated by strong cyclic abundance changes responding to orbitally forced climate changes. Only some of the variance observed in nannofossil abundance patterns can be explained by direct linear climatic forcing. This is to be expected given that in studies of seasonal coccolithophorid assemblages, only part of the variation observed can be explained by simple correlation with abiotic processes.

Abstract:
Given anthropogenic modification of the climate system, the future stability of Earth's major ice sheets and sea level is uncertain. One potential, lJ1ethod to investigate the behaviour of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets under a warmer-than-modern climate regime, is to look back at past warm periods of Earth history (for example the mid Pliocene Warm Period; 3.26 - 3.0 million years ago). The British Antarctic Survey Ice Sheet Model (BASISM) and the Hadley Centre Coupled Climate Model version 3 (HadCM3) allow the climate and ice sheets of the mid-Pliocene to be modelled, and their sensitivity to a range of uncertainties in forcing to be quantified. The ice sheets, particularly the Greenland Ice Sheet, are sensitive to changes in the Earth's orbital configuration and potential levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02) during the mid-Pliocene. Exploring various orbital forcing scenarios in concert with a plausible Pliocene COz envelope (280 - 560 ppmv), enables models to generate Greenland ice sheet reconstructions that range from a 1.5% reduction from modern to an ice-free state. In contrast, on East Antarctica, significant ice sheet retreat is only simulated under warm Southern Hemisphere orbital conditions where C02 levels are at 400 ppmv or above. Maximum eustatic sea level rise corresponding to predicted ice sheet reductions is comparable with recent records suggesting mid-Pliocene sea level high-stands of 22 m greater than modern. However, ice sheet reconstructions are shown to be highly dependent on Q priori assumptions regarding the initial ice sheet configuration within the numerical modelling framework. Investigation of the dependency of ice sheet predictions on the models used, has demonstrated that results are sensitive to the modelled climatological forcing. Such dependency is most explicitly highlighted over Greenland, where Pliocene ice sheet predictions, given forcings from fifteen equivalently-configured climate models, range from no ice to a configuration that is larger than modern. These results underline the importance of considering mUltiple sources of uncertainty when predicting past ice sheets. v

Abstract:
Uncertainty in model simulations arises due to the construction of the model (structural uncertainty), the representation of sub-grid scale processes (parameter uncertainty) or the input of model boundary conditions. Perturbed physics ensembles (PPEs) produce an ensemble of simulations using a single climate model. A PPE produces different representations of climate by altering the tuning of parameterisations representing processes occurring on sub-grid scales, such as clouds and radiation. A PPE has been produced to investigate model parameter and boundary condition uncertainty for the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (3.264 to 3.025 Ma BP). Through the use of a PPE, 14 versions (13 perturbed members and the Standard version) of the UK Met Office atmosphere-ocean general circulation model HadCM3 were created. The full ensemble was re-run to assess the impact of simultaneously changing physical boundary conditions for orography, ice sheets and vegetation in combination with perturbed physics. Finally the effect of the potential range in reconstructed mid-Pliocene CO2 was investigated through a sub-ensemble of the PPE. Using data-model comparisons (DMCs), the ensemble members with higher than the Standard values of Charney sensitivity were better able to simulate the magnitude of high latitude mid-Pliocene warming. The strongest performing ensemble members for the DMCs displayed Charney sensitivities of 4.54°C, 4.62°C and 5.40°C, above the upper bound of the IPCC likely range (1.5 to 4.5°C). However, these warmer members with higher Charney sensitivities weakened the data-model comparison in the tropics. Ensemble members with lower than Standard values of Charney sensitivity, close to the lower bound of the IPCC likely range, better resolved temperature reconstructions in the tropics, but were unable to resolve high latitude warming. It is evident that the PPE is able to achieve the magnitude of mPWP warming but not the spatial distribution of the warming. The investigation into boundary condition uncertainty using the PPE reveals that the PRISM3D physical boundary conditions lead to improved simulations of the mPWP climate than the PRISM2 boundary conditions. For the range of atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the results from the sub-ensemble indicate that lower values of CO2 lead to reduced performance of the PPE members compared to the palaeo-data. The conclusion is that concentrations of CO2 below 350 ppmv for the mPWP would make simulating high latitude climates very difficult for climate models.

Abstract:
The fossiliferous Yorktown Formation (Pliocene) of Virginia was used as a natural laboratory for testing predictions of ecological and evolutionary theories. Specifically, coordinated stasis and ecological locking models have testable elements that can be analyzed using data from the Yorktown Formation. The ecological locking model requires that species within an ecosystem have strong interactions in order to stabilize morphologies of multiple lineages over millions of years. Species intereactions that are strong enough to do this should also be strong enough to be a major ordering force on the composition of paleocommunities. Single and replicate samples were taken from 30 cm stratigraphic intervals within the Rushmere and Morgart's Beach Members at several localities. A total of 142 samples were collected from 5 localites, which yielded 29,000 specimens belonging to 140 species of bivalves, gastropods, and other taxonomic groups. Principle components analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA, and other analyses were used to test the occurence and recurrence of local paleocommunities, paleocommunities, and paleocommunity types. Three paleocommunity types which occured under specific paleoenvironmental conditions were defined: rubbly bottom, transitional, and muddy bottom. Within a single locality samples from the same paleocommunity type yielded very similar faunal compositions, based on the relative abundance of the contained species. However, samples from the same paleocommunity type but different localities displayed low similarity values. This is consistant with local paleoenvironmental control of paleocommunity composition being more important than strong species interactions. The pattern predicted by the model of ecologic locking is absent from these Yorktown paleocommunities. A guild analysis was performed on the data to test whether the same types of organisms recurred in a predictable fashion under similar paleoenvironmental conditions. While the guild structure of the rubbly bottom paleocommunity type did recur at several localities, the guild structure of the other paleocommunity types varied greatly from place to place.

Abstract:
The mid-Pliocene Warm Period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) has been extensively studied through the use of general circulation models (GCMs). Whilst the output from these simulations replicates closely many of the patterns of the climate of the interval indicated by proxy data, at northern high latitudes the reconstructed proxy data temperatures exceed the model temperatures by over 15˚C for some sites. This data-model discrepancy highlights the importance of focusing on model representation of processes that strongly affect the northern high latitude climates. Arctic sea ice exerts a strong influence on the Arctic climate, largely due to the ice-albedo feedback mechanism, and by creating an insulating layer between the ocean and the atmosphere. Interest in Arctic sea ice and its representation in climate models has been enhanced in recent years due to the rapid decline in the September minimum sea ice extent that has been observed since the advent of satellite observations in 1979. This thesis describes the results from simulations of the mPWP with the GCM HadCM3, focusing on the simulated Arctic temperatures and sea ice. A change to the parameterisation of sea ice albedo is implemented in the model, based on recent observations of changes in the albedo of Arctic sea ice. The results show mean annual surface air temperature (SAT) increases of up to 6˚C, and mean annual sea surface temperature (SST) increases of up to 2˚C, and the disappearance of Arctic sea ice in some summer months, but very small changes in the discrepancy between the model and proxy data temperatures. The sensitivity of simulated Arctic sea ice to orbital forcings and atmospheric CO2 in HadCM3 is also explored, with the results suggesting that changes in orbital forcing are sufficient to change the simulated mid-Pliocene Arctic from perennial to seasonal sea ice, unless combined with lower CO2 concentrations. Changes to orbits and CO2 are also combined with the alternative albedo parameterisation, and further data-model comparisons are performed, with the results continuing to show cooler model temperatures, but with a reduced gap. Also shown are the simulated Arctic sea ice outputs from eight different GCMs as part of the Pliocene Modelling Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP). The comparison demonstrates the model dependency on the simulation of Arctic sea ice, as only half of the models simulate perennial Arctic sea ice in the mid-Pliocene. The dominant influences on the sea ice simulation in the ensemble are also discussed.

Abstract:
High seismicity coupled with high population density creates a recipe for high seismic risk in Taiwan. Taiwan is located at the convergences of the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates. These convergences result in the development of an accretionary wedge. A basal decollemont bounds the NE-SW trending thrust packages. The most Eastern thrust package, the Central Range, experiences high erosion rates and exhumation rates which may induce high seismicity. Paleoseismic indicators improve the ancient seismic history and may aid in the constraint of geologic processes of an accretionary wedge. Pseudotachylytes, known as earthquake fossils, form by frictional melting during seismic slip. Cataclasites form by comminution during sliding. Frictional melts serve as a window to the fault plane. Pseudotachylytes may allow for the assessment of focal parameters through the utilization of fault plane geometry and slip surface properties. This study provides the first microstructural evidence for fault pseudotachylytes at the Hoping River locality in Eastern Taiwan. The 3.3 Ma Hoping River frictional melt evidences an ancient Mw 6.4 ±0.40 earthquake. This pseudotachylyte demonstrates an oblique fault with a reverse component which corresponds to the orientation of the thrust packages in the accretionary wedge. Sense of slip of both pseudotachylytes and cataclasites suggest a uniform stress field. Narrow fault cores suggest high strain localization. Coeval pseudotachylyte and quartz-calcite veins suggest shear heating as a mechanism, if a fluid reservoir along the basal decollemont in Taiwan exists.

Abstract:
The presence of delta between Mahakam Delta and Sangatta Delta has been discussed before by several authors in Kutei Basin. However, there is no detailed information of its location and stratigraphic successions. Our recent sequence stratigraphic studies, utilizing multi vintage seismic and well-based data in East Kalimantan & Attaka Working Area, provide new insights into the evolution of Santan Delta and its implication to the petroleum system in our working area. The Santan Delta might have been overlooked as a potential sediment source for reservoirs in the north of Mahakam Delta. Since the 1970’s, more than 50 MMBOE of hydrocarbons have been produced in this area from Late Miocene – Pliocene deltaic reservoirs. Santan Delta development started in early of Late Miocene which was indicated by fluvio-deltaic sedimentation prograde to the east. Kuching High to the west of the delta started to undergo uplift. Santan Delta development achieved peak sedimentation at the end of Late Miocene – Early Pliocene which was indicated by the presence of significant deltaic facies. It also pushed the carbonate sedimentation to the shelf margin area. Later in Late Pliocene, the presence of Santan Delta started to diminish which is shown by presence of shelfal carbonates that retrograde or backstep to younger shelf margin in this area. The stratigraphic succession of the Santan Delta deposited in Late Miocene – Pliocene became important to better understand source rock, reservoir, and seal distribution in its surrounding deltaic, shelf, slope, and deep-water environments.

Abstract:
The Rush Valley 30' x 60' quadrangle extends southwest and west from the greater Salt Lake City–Provo metropolitan area with land use varied between public, military, Indian reservation, and private. This 1:62,500-scale geologic map will aid the proper management of land, water, and other resources. The map area lies within the eastern Basin and Range Province. Mountain ranges are composed of unexposed basement rocks overlain by exposed Neoproterozoic through Triassic rocks that are about 10.4 miles (16.8 km) thick, and by numerous Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic units (~47 to 20 Ma). The intervening valleys include bedrock covered with Miocene-Pliocene? rocks (~11 to 4 Ma) and Neogene-Quaternary surficial deposits. The map area is on the southern flank of the Uinta-Tooele structural zone. This area is in the Charleston-Nebo (Provo) salient of the Sevier fold-thrust belt and some thrust faults are exposed, but the overall Sevier belt geometry is obscured by extensive Cenozoic cover and later faulting. Following Sevier deformation, calk-alkaline volcanism occurred from several Paleogene volcanic centers (42 to 25 Ma). Extensional tectonism created the distinctive basin and range topography from about 20 Ma to the present. Early extensional basin fill includes Miocene sedimentary and volcanic rocks followed by Pliocene-Holocene surficial deposits primarily from lacustrine and alluvial depositional environments. Valley areas were covered by late Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, and deposits are associated with three levels of regional shorelines. Normal faults cut the ranges and are known to bound some valley margins where not concealed. Although deep drill hole data are relatively sparse, gravity data were used to help constrain basin geometries.
