[Aqualist] INQUA International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism

[Tim Barrows]

From: David Lowe <d.lowe at waikato.ac.nz>

Dear all,

I wish to draw your attention to the inter-congress meeting of the 
INQUA International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism 
(INTAV) in Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, South Kyushu, JAPAN, 
May 10-17, 2010. This international field conference and workshop 
maintains the long tradition of very successful inter-INQUA tephra 
meetings held previously by SCOTAV in the USA, New Zealand, France 
and Canada over the past 18 years. The next inter-congress meeting, 
entitled "Active Tephra in Kyushu, 2010" facilitates not only an 
opportunity for the presentation and discussion of the latest 
advances in tephra studies, but also provides an exceptional insight 
into the interactive history of volcanism, human activity and 
palaeoenvironment, and Kyushu Island with its long history and active 
volcanism is an ideal location for this purpose.

Further details are available on the 1st circular at

Those interested in attending the meeting are kindly asked to fill in 
the 1st circular reply form and return it to the conference chairman 
via email (tfukuoka at ris.ac.jp), fax (+81-48-539-1640), or airmail to:
Prof. Takaaki Fukuoka

environmental Science,
Rissho University,

Hope to see you there.
