Description
Scott Wing will share with us the exciting story of his discoveries about the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a period over 55 million years ago when the average temperature of Earth warmed nine degrees in a geological instant. Wing's work on plant fossils shows that the rapid warming was accompanied by decreasing rainfall and a radical shift in where plants lived.
