The Cretaceous greenhouse world was characterized by extreme warmth, high CO2 levels, oceanic anoxic events, and significant ecosystem changes. Asia provides extensive sedimentary, fossil, and geochemical archives that record these phenomena across diverse settings. IGCP Project 679 (Cretaceous Earth Dynamics and Climate in Asia) aims to integrate stratigraphic, paleontological, geochemical, and modeling approaches to reconstruct climate variability, ocean circulation, and Earth system feedback in this interval. This JpGU-AGU session, organized as a project workshop, will present new findings from across Asia while promoting global collaboration. Topics include stratigraphic correlation, high-resolution geochemical proxies, records of oceanic anoxic events and mass extinctions, paleogeographic reconstructions, and terrestrial ecosystem responses. The session encourages participation from students, early-career researchers, and international collaborators. Discussion time will be provided to strengthen the links between IGCP 679 members and the wider scientific community, thereby enhancing the integration of Asian records into global Cretaceous climate research.
