Greenhouse Earth Symposium

Greenhouse Earth Symposium
Wednesday 14 January 2009
Oceania, Te Papa Tongarewa, Museum of New Zealand, Wellington

In this one-day symposium, leading international research scientists will showcase the role that research into the ancient greenhouse world of the Paleogene, 65 to 35 million years ago, plays in advancing understanding of modern climate change.

Symposium speakers will explore:

• the role of greenhouse gases in driving Paleogene episodes of extreme global warming
• the consequences of global warming for biological systems
• the nature of natural feedback systems that serve to modulate climate and atmospheric greenhouse gas levels
• the effectiveness of climate models in simulating greenhouse climate states

Presentations in this symposium will be aimed at a non-specialist audience with an interest in the science behind climate change and, specifically, greenhouse gas-induced global warming.
