PP41C:
Lessons for the Future from Cenozoic Warm Climates Posters


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 49490

Session Description:
During the Cenozoic the Earth’s climate has traversed several warm climates, such as those that are known to have existed during the Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene and the interglacial periods of the Quaternary. Each of these periods provides a unique perspective on warming in the Earth system. Studying these warm climate states helps us to both better understand the range of responses of known mechanisms of global and regional warming, and to also uncover mechanisms and interactions that may not be in operation now but may operate in the future warmer state. We invite submissions that employ numerical modelling to enhance our understanding of the future climate by learning from past warm climates. These could include, but not necessarily restricted to, inferences of climate sensitivity and novel feedback mechanisms, data-model comparison, modelling inferences of the impacts of warm climates on fauna, flora and their influence upon human ancestor dispersal.
