Emerging Proxy and Modeling Evidence for Indian and Southern Ocean Circulation and Climate Variability through the Neogene
Emerging Proxy and Modeling Evidence for Indian and Southern Ocean Circulation and Climate Variability through the Neogene
Session ID#: 160404
Session Description:
The dynamics of the Southern Ocean is crucial for setting climate variability today and in the past. The role of the Indian Ocean has at times been overlooked, but new work focusing on this region has highlighted its importance in global ocean circulation, as well as regional and global climate. In this session, we seek to bring together researchers working on a wide range of temporal (sub-millennial to tectonic) and spatial (local to basin to circumpolar) scales, with a variety of methods, and a particular focus on the Indian and Southern Oceans. We welcome studies further extending established and novel proxy records of past environmental conditions, including surface and deep ocean circulation, the coupled ocean and atmosphere system, as well as paleoclimate modeling strategies in order to share progress in our understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change throughout the Neogene.
