[Aqualist] Reminder: SHAPE at INQUA - Abstracts due 9 January 2019

[Andrew Lorrey]

Hi Everyone,

Abstracts for INQUA in Dublin, Ireland (25-31 July 2019) are due early in the new year on 9 January 2019.

At INQUA Nagoya in 2015 we had 46 presentations for SHAPE and a very strong showing from the Southern Hemisphere community. I hope we can achieve a great turn out again!!

Please consider submitting your research to the SHAPE session:

Southern Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE)
in PALCOM (the INQUA Palaeoclimate Commission)

Co-Convenors: Brian Chase, Andrew Lorrey, Steven Phipps, Maisa Rojas

Description:
The PALCOM International Focus Group "Southern Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments" (SHAPE) has supported network-building for Quaternary researchers interested in reconstructing past atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns for the Southern Hemisphere. The main efforts of SHAPE have been to improve connections between regional environmental change data sets, and investigate the nature and drivers of change in the Southern Hemisphere and its role in the global climate system across glacial-interglacial cycles. SHAPE has focussed on developing strong synergies between proxy data development, geochronology, analysis tools and climate model simulations. Intra-hemispheric collaborations that have been fostered in SHAPE to-date have used all four of those elements to refine patterns of past changes, including establishing similarities and differences between widely separated geographic areas. In this session, we welcome research that has used integrative approaches and model simulations to improve understanding of the drivers of climate change, climate dynamics, modes of variability, transitions, tipping points, abrupt shifts, and mechanisms of intra- and inter-hemispheric climate teleconnections from a Southern Hemisphere perspective. Presentations on regional observations, proxy development, geochronology, tools and modelling techniques over a wide range of Southern Hemisphere Quaternary environmental archives and climate change issues are welcome, as are progress updates on regional-to-hemispheric scale data syntheses.
