This meeting will look at the Carboniferous and Permian periods, which were a critical time in Earth history, when terrestrial biotas first had a significant impact on global climates. In particular, the development of extensive wetland forests in tropical latitudes coincided with relatively cold global climates and an expansion of the polar ice sheet. It was also the first time that biogeographical provincialism among the terrestrial biotas became strongly developed. Speakers from Europe and North America will examine the current state of knowledge of the distribution of these terrestrial biotas and of the changes that were taking place in the physical environment at the time.
