Paleonet: EGU2019 session: SSP4.2/CL1.31. Biotic-climatic-environmental interactions during global warming events in deep time (co-organized)

[Katarzyna Sliwinska]

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our upcoming session at the EGU General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, 7-12th April 2019 (https://egu2019.eu/). Our session will focus on biotic-climatic-environmental interactions during global warming events of the Late Palaeozoic-Cenozoic (see info below and link), a topic which we feels is important and timely in regards to the on-going climate change.
It is our hopes that we will attract a wide range of abstracts from various subjects dealing with Global warming events in deep-time.
You can read about the session below or at https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2019/session/31037 where you can also submit your abstract.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, and please feel free to forward this message to potential attendees!
Submission deadline January 10, 2019
Best regards
Sofie, Martin, Kasia and Margret
SSP4.2/CL1.31. Biotic-climatic-environmental interactions during global warming events in deep time (co-organized)

Convener: Sofie Lindström
Co-conveners: Martin Schobben , Kasia K. Sliwinska , Margret Steinthorsdottir


Our world is under stress due to global warming. Although there is a general consensus amongst scientists that the global warming is
induced by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, there is still on-going debate on how fast and severe future climate change will be
and how this will affect life on Earth. There are multiple examples of episodes of global warming in the Earth's past. These events are
often, but not always, associated with extinctions, but commonly with restructuring of ecosystems. Palaeontological, sedimentological
and geochemical proxy records can provide detailed analyses and insights into the biotic and environmental responses to such events.
The biotic and environmental impact of global warming events may vary substantially in time and space. The aim of this session is to
highlight lessons that can be learned for the present and the future, from studying long- and short-term consequences of global warming
events in deep time. The session will focus on global warming events of the Late Palaeozoic-Cenozoic.
