<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Friends and Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage you to submit an abstract to our
session at the Fall 2021 AGU meeting (December 13-17):</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GP007--Linkages between paleoclimate,
paleoceanography, polar wander, and tectonic changes during the
Paleogene<br>
<br>
Important climate and oceanographic changes occurred in the
Paleogene, most notably the enormous transition in global
temperature with peak Greenhouse temperatures during the Early
Eocene Climatic Optimum gradually declining until the massive
temperature drop associated with increased Antarctic glaciation at
the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. During the same interval, important
tectonic changes occurred around the planet including the initial
collision of India with Eurasia, the formation of the bend in the
Hawaiian-Emperor chain (with hypothesized changes in mantle flow),
opening of gateways, a global reorganization of plate motions, the
eruption of the North Atlantic igneous province, and a
hypothesized episode of 5 to 10 degrees of true polar wander. For
this session, we seek contributions on any of these topics and
potential linkages between them. We seek contributions on topics
like the above that relate tectonics, polar wander, and mantle
flow during the Paleogene to Earth’s surface and its climatic
history.</p>
Abstract submission is now open and the deadline is<span
