Frontiers in Paleogeography
Frontiers in Paleogeography
Session ID#: 250309
Session Description:
The time-dependent position of continents and oceans is central to understanding the evolution of Earth's surface and interior. This session seeks contributions that take varied approaches to reconstruct and analyze paleogeography on the regional to global scale across timescales and throughout Earth history. These approaches include those using paleomagnetism, marine geophysical data, geology, seismic tomography, and more. In addition to highlighting research that is furthering the community's ability to reconstruct paleogeography, we welcome contributions that analyze the implications of paleogeographic models for other fields such as geodynamics, paleoclimate, critical minerals, energy, and biodiversity.
