Title: Pliocene World — Earth's Climate 3 Million Years Ago and How it Relates to our Future (by Marci Robinson, USGS Research Ecologist)

- Three millions years ago, during the late Pliocene, CO2 levels were similar today, but global temperature and sea level were much higher.

- Find out how we microfossils to reconstruct temperature, salinity and more across the globe from this geological interval just before the ice ages began.

- Using our reconstruction of the Pliocene world, we better understand the climate dynamics of a warmer world, and global climate models better simulate our future climate.
