Summarizes presentations at the Global Sedimentary Geology Program workshop in 1992. Presents a state-of-the-art summary of current research in late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleoclimate modeling, geological calibration of climate models, tectonics studies, sedimentary facies and events, extinction, and other studies related to the geologic environment during the accretion, zenith, and breakup of the supercontinent, Pangea. Chapters focus on the tectonic evolution of Pangea, the paleoclimate and sedimentary consequences on Earth's environments, tectonic and orographic effects on paleoclimate, Permian and Triassic extinction events, isotope stratigraphy of sedimentary rocks, evidence of Permian polar cooling, Permo-Triassic reefs, and Carboniferous sequence stratigraphy during accretion. Workshop recommendations are included.
