Randomized trial examines climatic impacts on marine conditions in the Eastern Carpathians, highlighting significant cooling effects.

The study aims to investigate marine condition changes at Muntele Piatra Verde during the Middle Miocene Climatic Transition.
Integrated biostratigraphic and mineralogical analyses at two stratigraphic sections.
Stable isotope measurements of δ 13 C and δ 18 O in Orbulina spp.
Evaluation of foraminiferal assemblages across defined geological intervals.
SSTs decreased from ~26°C to less than 14°C during the transition period.
Evaporite deposition lasted approximately 200 kyr from ~13.8 to 13.6 Ma.
A documented cooling of ~10°C across the MMCT indicating a strong link to regional volcanic and evaporitic phases.

Bojar et al. (2026) studied this question.
