Stable isotopic evidence of El Niño-like atmospheric circulation in the Pliocene western United States
Understanding how the hydrologic cycle has responded to warmer global temperatures in the past is especially important today as concentrations of CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere continue to increase due to human activities. The Pliocene offers an ideal window into a climate system that...
