[Aqualist] Conference of the Geoscience Society of New Zealand, November 2012

[Kathryn Fitzsimmons]

On behalf of Prof David Lowe:
Forthcoming conference and AQUA: *Geosciences 2012, Hamilton 25-28 November*
The annual conference of the Geoscience Society of New Zealand, being 
held at the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand, in the last 
week of November, 2012, is to feature a Quaternary science symposium 
that additionally includes presentations relating to AQUAS's 
AUS-INTIMATE project. This symposium, "Quaternary records including 
Australasian Quaternary Association INTIMATE project"*,* is being 
convened by David Lowe (Uinversity of Waikato), Rewi Newnham (Victoria 
University of Wellington), and AQUA President Peter Almond (Lincoln 
University). INTIMATE stands for the Integration of ice-core, marine, 
and terrestrial records for Australasia since 30,000 years ago.
Both New Zealand and Australian participants in this project have been 
preparing papers for a special issue of /Quaternary Science Reviews/ 
bringing together the climate event stratigraphies that have been 
developed both for New Zealand and Australia, and a host of related 
papers dealing with (amongst other topics) high-resolution climatic 
change, age modelling, and tephrochronology in the region for the 
past 30,000 years. AQUA members and Quaternarists are very welcome to 
attend and to present papers on these and other topics in this 
Quaternary symposium. Special rates apply for students to attend the 
conferenced, and support for travel costs may also be available.
