Hydroclimate Lessons from Cenozoic Paleoclimates

Session ID#: 159042

Session Description:
Rainfall and hydroclimate remain one of the least certain aspects of future climate projections. Simultaneously, the paleoclimatic record over the Cenozoic, the last 65 million years, of Earth history offers several examples of global climate change that resulted in dramatic reorganizations of the global and regional water cycle. Records from these past climates, especially warm climates with higher greenhouse gases, can shed light on processes relevant for understanding future hydroclimate. These warm climates include the mid-Pliocene, the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, and other time intervals. This session seeks contributions that use data and insights from past Cenozoic climates to enhance our physical understanding of the ways in which the water cycle responds to climate change.  We welcome contributions from proxy record development studies as well as modeling experiments or new theoretical frameworks, as well as studies that integrate these two approaches.
