>Dear Colleagues,
>
>We would like to draw your attention to the 
>following session at the 11th International 
>Paleolimnology Symposium, to be held 23-26 June 
>2009 in Guadalajara, Mexico: "Late Quaternary 
>paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental records in 
>lakes from the Southern Hemisphere".
>
>Abstracts will be accepted until May 20, but 
>please note that early registration ends March 20.
>
>For further details on the conference, see

>Best regards,

>Session description: Compared to the Northern 
>Hemisphere, paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental 
>sedimentary records from the Southern Hemisphere 
>are still relatively scarce. In this session, we 
>invite a broad range of oral and poster 
>contributions related to the reconstruction of 
>past climate and environmental changes based on 
>the analysis of lake sedimentary archives from 
>the Southern Hemisphere, including Antarctica.
>We particularly encourage papers that focus on 
>high-resolution paleoclimate records covering 
>the last deglaciation, as well as more recent 
>time-windows (e.g., LIA, MWP). We also invite 
>contributions that deal with late Quaternary 
>natural and anthropogenic environmental changes, 
>such as seismic and volcanic activity, pollution 
>and changes in vegetation and limnology. 
>Finally, we welcome contributions that are based 
>on a wide variety of sedimentological, 
>geochemical and biological proxies and we 
>particularly encourage papers focusing on the 
>application of novel proxies to study lakes in the Southern Hemisphere.
