[Aqualist] SHAPE session at INQUA: Late abstract submission for posters

[Steven J Phipps]

Dear AQUAlist colleagues,

The Local Organising Committee for the XIX INQUA Congress in Nagoya, Japan 
has decided to re-open abstract submission for poster presentations only. 
Each delegate can submit one new poster abstract at this stage (unless 
they have already submitted two abstracts previously). Late abstract 
submission is open until 23:59 UTC on 11 May 2015.

We would therefore like to bring to your attention a session we are 
convening entitled:

Southern Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE): a southern 
perspective on climate evolution over the past 60 kyr

This session will showcase the diverse research being conducted within the 
terrestrial, marine and cryosphere environments of the Southern Hemisphere 
as part of the INQUA Palaeoclimate Commission (PALCOMM) project Southern 
Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE). Presentations are 
welcome on palaeoclimate reconstruction, geochronology, palaeoecology and 
climate modelling covering any of the last 60 kyr. Particular foci of the 
session will be the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition, climatic trends 
during the Holocene, changes in the Southern Hemisphere atmospheric and 
oceanic circulation, changes in the Southern Hemisphere monsoons, 
terrestrial-marine-cryosphere connections and inter-hemispheric linkages. 
Presentations that use multi-proxy integration approaches and model-proxy 
linkages are also strongly encouraged.

We also expect a special issue in a peer-reviewed journal will come out of 
this session.

Please contacts one of the conveners if you require further information 
about this session, see

or simply go to the INQUA website and submit your abstract.
