Abstract
The present conference on the history of the relationship between atmospheric CO/sub 2/ and the carbon cycle treats data obtained concerning the most recent deglaciation, the Pleistocene, the Zenozoic, and the Phanerozoic-Precambrian. Specific attention is given to the geophysical implications of the tropospheric methane cycle, transient response of the marine carbon cycle, factors regulating glacial to interglacial CO/sub 2/ changes, the high latitude ocean as a control of atmospheric CO/sub 2/, and the relationships among atmospheric CO/sub 2/, orbital forcing, and climate. Also discussed are the distribution of major vegetation types during the Tertiary, a Strangelove ocean in the earliest Tertiary, high atmospheric CO/sub 2/ as a plausible mechanism for warm Cretaceous climates, and potential estimation errors in carbonate rock accumulation over geologic time.
