Equatorial heat accumulation as a long-term trigger of permanent Antarctic ice sheets during the Cenozoic

Growth of the first permanent Antarctic ice sheets at the Eocene−Oligocene Transition (EOT), ∼33.7 million years ago, indicates a major climate shift within long-term Cenozoic cooling. The driving mechanisms that set the stage for this glaciation event are not well constrained, however, owing to lar...
