| Summary: | Contains 22 research articles focusing on an integrated systems approach to understanding the Cretaceous world through synthesis of new data and interpretations relevant to marine and continental climate and atmospheric and oceanic circulation. Contributions address paleogeography, paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, and paleobiology, globally and regionally. Topics treated include alternative global Cretaceous paleogeography; links between major climatic factors and regional oceanic circulation in the mid- Cretaceous; deciphering Late Cretaceous subequatorial ocean-climate interactions in the Sergipe Basin, Brazil; and terrestrial vegetation and its effects on climate during the latest Cretaceous.
