This international conference showcased the latest advances in understanding the causes and consequences of extreme climatic and catastrophic biotic events in the greenhouse world of `the Early Cenozoic: from the K/T boundary mass extinction to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and the Eocene-Oligocene greenhouse-icehouse climate transition.
The conference was a fitting end to the 2008 International Year of Planet Earth. Participants came from all branches of earth sciences and from all corners of the globe, and had a common purpose of utilising the geological record of past global change as a predictor of future change in a warming world.
A highlight of the conference was the Greenhouse Earth Symposium, a one-day symposium in which leading researchers explained how their studies of ancient greenhouse climates have advanced understanding of modern climate change.
