Dear colleagues,


Happy New Year!


With the abstract deadline (13 January 2021, 13:00 Central European Time) fast approaching for the upcoming virtual EGU General Assembly (vEGU21: 19–30 April 2021) we would like to draw your attention to our session CL1.8/SSP2.4: Climate response to orbital forcing.


You can submit your abstract via this link:

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/40698


All scientific sessions will apply the virtual PICO (vPICO) format and to submit an abstract to the vEGU2021 you need acquire or renew your EGU membership. Please find more information at:

https://www.egu21.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html


Best wishes and hope to see you in April.

Session abstract:

The pacing of the global climate system by orbital variations is clearly demonstrated in the timing of e.g. glacial-interglacial cycles. The mechanisms that translate this forcing into geoarchives and climate changes continue to be debated. We invite submissions that explore the climate system response to orbital forcing, and that test the stability of these relationships under different climate regimes or across evolving climate states (e.g. mid Pleistocene transition, Pliocene-Pleistocene transition, Miocene vs Pliocene, and also older climate transitions). Submissions exploring proxy data and/or modelling work are welcomed, as this session aims to bring together proxy-based, theoretical and/or modelling studies focused on global and regional climate responses to astronomical forcing at different time scales in the Phanerozoic.
