[Aqualist] Contributions to IPC/IOPC 2012, Tokyo, Japan

[Janelle Stevenson]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite contributions to our session '*Late Quaternary environments in Southeast Asia*' for IPC/IOPC Tokyo, August 23-30, 2012.
(http://wwwsoc.nii.ac.jp/psj3/IPC2012Web/web-content/index.html)

*Session Description*:
Southeast Asia hosts a wide range of ecosystems, from montane rainforest to coastal mangroves.Throughout the late Quaternary these ecosystems
were subjected to drastic changes in environmental conditions which acted on different temporal scales (millennia to decades) and were controlled
by global (e.g. sea level and climate) and local drivers (e.g. fire, alterations in geomorphology, human activity). These fluctuations in environmental
parameters induced profound changes in the landscape leading to spatial and compositional adaptations. By investigating late Quaternary palaeoecological
records, drivers and feedback mechanisms of ecological change become apparent which allow us to better understand ecosystem dynamics under changing
environmental conditions. This symposium invites contributions investigating the development of late Quaternary landscapes throughout Southeast Asia.
It aims to bring together researchers investigating spatial and ecological ecosystem evolution and the drivers behind environmental change.


If you would like to present in this session please send the following
