Presented by Dr. Anne-Marie Tosolini of the University of Melbourne, Australia, February 16, 2023.
Antarctic vegetation history through the early Cenozoic (Palaeogene) provides a picture of past changing climates. During this critical time in Earth's history, greenhouse climates switched to the icehouse climates of today. Antarctic glaciers and deep-ocean sediments record major shifts in past global atmospheric and oceanic conditions related to growth of the ice sheet. Dr. Tosolini's talk discusses what the fossil record can tell us about environmental and climatic change during the Palaeogene.
