The spread of anoxia and euxinia differ between OAEs on their regional distribution as a consequence
of paleogeography.
This geographic distribution of anoxic conditions points towards the importance
of paleogeography, basin restriction, and nutrient fluxes as key controls on the occurrence of extreme deoxygenation.
Petroleum geologists tend to be sedimentary geologists and sedimentary geology is essentially a combination
of paleogeography and paleoclimatology.
Yannick Donnadieu and I have a paper coming out in EPSL in a few months where we study runoff changes throughout the Cretaceous, and find a very strong effect
of the paleogeography, which can be stronger than the effect of CO2.

Rather than questioning the primary role
of the atmospheric CO2, our modelling results allow us to put forward that the atmospheric CO2 is not the whole story and that, owing to the overwhelming effect and interplay between the
paleogeography, the water cycle and the seasonal response, the climate system may undergo subtle climatic changes (as the 4 °C global warming simulated here between the Aptian and the Maastrichtian runs).
... unless one examines snowball earth cycles, or considers the impact
of historical changes in solar radiance and
paleogeography on surface temperature.
Phanerozoic Climatic Zones and
Paleogeography with a Consideration
of Atmospheric CO2 Levels (Paleontological Journal, 2: 3 - 11, 2003)-- A. J. Boucot, Chen Xu, C. R. Scotese
In such models, plate tectonics would evolve with a complete history
of vertical motions, sea - level change, and
paleogeography (e.g., Gurnis, 1992).
