a Oxygenation. b Upwelling. c Monsoonal intensity. d Tectonically driven ocean circulation. Increasing thickness indicates relatively more oxygen or more monsoonal activity, scaled separately for each publication. Timing follows authors’ published ages. Red bar indicates Miocene Climatic Optimum (MCO), gray bar indicates Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT). Based on data from this study and refs. 13,14,29,30,31,36,37,46,48,50,51,53,54,62,102,103,104.
