Paleonet: vEGU palaeontology Session SSP4.2

[Dr. Antonino Briguglio]

Dear Colleague,

As you might know next year the EGU will be fully ONLINE and thus will 
be much more accessible and cheaper, still preserving the same spirit of 
sharing ideas and meet colleagues. This can be an ideal challenging 
opportunity for you or specially for your young students to join and let 
them live the experience of a large conference from their home-offices.

We are writing to invite you to submit your latest works to the Session 
*No.****SSP4.2*at the *European Geoscience Union (vEGU21) Gather 
Online*  (19-30 April 2021).

The title of the session is “*CO2 excess and global warming events: 
newest results on past and current resilience of marine biota***” 
convened by Valeria Luciani, 
<https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/sessionprogramme/SSP#>Antonino 
Briguglio<https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/sessionprogramme/SSP#>, 
and Roberta 
D'OnofrioECS<https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/sessionprogramme/SSP#>

Session description:

the comprehension of the future state of our planet is a dramatically 
pressing matter. Among the major global challenges we face today, a 
great deal of research is constantly made on the effects of global 
warming, excess CO2, ocean acidification, eutrophication and anoxia; 
those all act as stressors compromising ecosystem resilience. In light 
of these adverse developments, studies on modern biota through 
laboratory experiments and extant taxa are vital for measuring ecosystem 
resilience at short-term timescale. Concurrently, the geological record 
offers an excellent archive to document at medium- and long-term 
timescales past major climate changes that may have generated 
devastating tipping points, with ephemeral or permanent modification in 
pelagic and neritic systems.
The study of these perturbations that can be supported by several biotic 
and geochemical proxies is particularly intriguing because they allow us 
to compare the resilience of the past marine biota with the extant 
ecosystems that can be affected by change in abundance, diversity and 
productivity.

We welcome contributes aimed to characterize modifications on extant 
marine ecosystems and to document Phanerozoic environmental 
perturbations through biotic, geochemical, and sedimentological approaches.


Detailed information on how to submit an abstract can be found at:

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/40338 
<https://egu2019.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html>

The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is *13 January 2021*, 13:00 CET.

I would appreciate it if you would pass details of this session to any 
colleagues whom you think may be interested.

Hope to see you ONLINE in April.

Best regards,

Antonino and the conveners
