[Aqualist] PEP2 Session - Asia-Oceania Geoscience Society (AOGS) Conference

[Tim Barrows]

 From Paul Hesse: <phesse at els.mq.edu.au>

Papers are invited for the PEP2 Session at the Asia-Oceania Geoscience
Society (AOGS) Conference;  Singapore 5-9 July, 2004

'Low-latitude and high-latitude climates and linkages in the Asia Oceania
sector in the late Quaternary' (Session OA18)

The abstract submission deadline is now April 15th, 2004

The Asia-Oceania region is host to the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool and the
tropical monsoon systems associated with it which have a wide impact on
regional and global climate, climate variability and ocean circulation.
The effects of this tropical climate system are also felt in mid and high
latitudes of both hemispheres, which are also impacted by polar weather
systems.  We invite original research papers dealing with palaeoclimatic
reconstructions of the tropical (monsoonal) climate system and the warm
pool, high latitude climate systems or their interaction in the
mid-latitudes of the Asia-Oceania region.  Papers may include proxy
evidence, modelling results or model validation using proxy data.  This
session is an activity of the Austral-Asia Pole Equator Pole (PEP 2)
Transect project.

The conference will include several sessions of interest to PEP2
participants including South China Seas and Indonesian Throughflow, Asian
Dust, Typhoons and Mesoscale Weather, Land-Ocean Atmosphere Interactions,
Climate Change.

Conference registration is US$270/S$450 by 10th May 2004; US$320/S$550
after 10th May 2004.

We hope to be able to offer financial assistance to presenters from
developing countries.

The "Call for Abstracts" follows and we invite you to take the next big
step. Submit your abstract online and invite your associates, friends and
colleagues to follow suit.
