Abstract
The meeting on Early Paleogene Warm Climates and Biosphere Dynamics was held June 9‐13, 1999, in Göteborg, Sweden, and was organized and hosted by B. Schmitz. Schmitz was assisted by organizing committee members M.‐P. Aubry and J. Zachos. This meeting was the fourth such gathering in recent years and was the largest and most successful meeting yet. There were 120 scientists in attendance from 21 countries. The largest group came from the United States; other well‐represented countries were the United Kingdom, Russia, and Germany. The meeting, aimed at a multifaceted understanding of the early Paleogene, had a strong interdisciplinary character. Over 4 days, participants presented scientific research in oral and poster sessions. The meeting ended with a 1‐day field trip to the early Paleogene deposits of northern Denmark.
