SELWYN SYMPOSIUM 2024
PALAEOCLIMATES
                                 Thursday 31 October, 2024, from 2 pm @ The
University of Melbourne

The climate history of Earth is complex in terms of understanding key
drivers and particular events. Earth’s atmosphere has changed dramatically
through geological time, extending as far back as over 4.5 billion years.
Past climates can hold the key to understanding modern and future
climates. Many
rapid warming events in the past being analogues for rapid and dramatic
future climate change. In this symposium, presenters will cover a range of
different time scales from the recent past to the ancient Earth. Questions
around the timing and extent of past climate change, the drivers of these
events and the effects on biotic evolution are the focus of discussion.
