Development of Modern Ocean Circulation during the Cenozoic

Explore the evolution of ocean circulation patterns throughout the Cenozoic era in this illuminating colloquium presented by Dr. James Wright from Rutgers University. Delve into the complex processes that shaped modern oceanic systems, examining key geological and climatic events that influenced global water movement. Gain insights into the interconnectedness of Earth's climate, tectonics, and ocean dynamics, and understand how these factors contributed to the development of current circulation patterns. Discover the methods and evidence used by scientists to reconstruct ancient ocean conditions and trace the gradual emergence of today's ocean circulation over millions of years.
