Advances in Palaeogeography

Convener: Uwe Kirscher | Co-conveners: Ross Mitchell, Johanna Salminen, Yebo Liu

The evolution of continents, oceans, and plate boundaries provides a crucial surface boundary condition to understand processes of Earth's environmental evolution and its interior dynamics. This session invites contributions that utilise diverse methodologies to reconstruct and analyse palaeogeography, spanning from regional to global scales, with an emphasis on Precambrian time. These approaches may include, but are not limited to, palaeomagnetism, matching geology such as radiating dyke swarms, detrital zircon provenance analysis, and the utilisation of palaeogeographic full-plate models. These methods can incorporate innovative techniques like artificial intelligence and machine learning. Beyond welcoming research that enhances the community’s ability to improve palaeogeographic reconstructions, we also encourage submissions that examine the interaction of certain palaeogeographic concepts with palaeoclimatic and geodynamic consequences.
