[Aqualist] Arid session at IGC Brisbane, August 2012

[Paul Hesse]

Dear colleagues

We would like to invite you to submit abstracts to a session at the
upcoming IGC in Brisbane, 5-10 August 2012

Theme 29. Surficial Processes and Landscape Evolution

29.3 History of aridity: evidence from the continents and the oceans

Chairs: Paul Hesse (Australia) and Matt Telfer (UK)



Throughout the Neogene and Quaternary, aridification of the continents has
occurred repeatedly in response to global climatic forcing and feedbacks,
as well as tectonic drivers. New advances in dating methods and proxy
indicators have given unprecedented insights into the processes and
signatures of aridification.  This session seeks contributions which
develop understanding of the development of desert environments, their
responses to external forcing and feedbacks in the climate system, and new
tools for the investigation of arid landscapes.



the abstract submission deadline is 17th February
