* PROJECT LEADERS
* ANNOUNCEMENT
  Our proposal for IGCP Project 555 “Rapid Environmental/Climate Change in the Cretaceous Greenhouse World: Ocean-Land Interactions” was one of several new IGCP projects approved by the UNESCO-IUGS IGCP Scientific Board during its 35th session in early 2007. Our four-year project will run from 2007 to 2010.
* BACKGROUND OF IGCP PROJECT 555
  Recently the Earth’s climate has oscillated between glacial and inter-glacial episodes with ice sheets expanding on the northern hemisphere continents, and permanent ice restricted to Antarctica and Greenland...
* OBJECTIVES of IGCP PROJECT 555
  Our goal is to investigate the causes, processes, and consequences of rapid environmental changes in the Cretaceous greenhouse world. In contrast to the oscillating glacial-interglacial climates of the past few million years, the Cretaceous was a time of long term climate stability with warm equable climates resulting from a higher atmospheric greenhouse gas content...
