Third International Palaeontological Congress (IPC3)

3. The micropalaeontological record of global change
Keynote Speaker: Luc Beaufort
Organisers: Tom Dunkley-Jones & Taniel Danelian
Sponsor: The Micropalaeontological Society

This session will present new micropalaeontological approaches to understanding interactions between the biosphere and past global environmental change. It will address some of the major questions in the evolution of life and its relationship with the global environment, including the history of biomineralisation and related changes in ocean chemistry and the role of unicellular organisms in global biogeochemical cycles. Case studies of biotic response to climatic change will be particularly welcome (i.e. ocean acidification, global warming and anoxic events).
