SEPM Activities

SEPM Research Symposium: Paleoclimate: Implications for Stratigraphic Interpretation and Modern Climate Change

Date:

Monday, April 21

Time:

1:15 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Location:

Room 213

Chairs:

H. R. Lane and M. Perlmutter

The geologic record provides us the only possible means to understand natural climate variability. Paleoclimate research involves a broad community of geoscientists and climate modelers. Using both established and newly developing proxies coupled with increasingly advanced analytical techniques, we are beginning to mine the Earth’s paleoclimate record at a high temporal resolution, gaining insight on air and oceanic temperatures, annual precipitation patterns, storminess, seasonality and wind strength/direction at scales ranging from annual to seasonal. This symposium is a two-part session that will discuss:

1. the impact that paleoclimate studies can have on a refined and predictive understanding of lithology, stratigraphy, basin architecture and resources.
2. the context and perspective that paleoclimate research can have for present and future climate change.
