The Permian Period represents both a transition and a beginning in global paleoclimate. Continental glaciation, which peaked in the Late Carboniferous, declined and ceased during the Permian, and climate typical of the Pangean (Permian through Middle Jurassic; Parrish 1992) megamonsoon (Kutzbach and Gallimore 1989) began. The purpose of this chapter is to provide a global paleoclimatic context for this Volume, by summarizing current information about the development of global climate during the Permian Period.
