[Aqualist] SHAPE session at INQUA

[Steven J Phipps]

Dear AQUAlist colleagues,

We would like to bring to your attention a session we are convening for 
the upcoming XIX INQUA Congress to be held in Nagoya, Japan from the 27th 
of July – 2nd of August, 2015 entitled:

Southern Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE): a southern 
perspective on climate evolution over the past 60 kyr

This session will showcase the diverse research being conducted within the 
terrestrial, marine and cryosphere environments of the Southern Hemisphere 
as part of the INQUA Palaeoclimate Commission (PALCOMM) project Southern 
Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE). Presentations are 
welcome on palaeoclimate reconstruction, geochronology, palaeoecology and 
climate modelling covering any of the last 60 kyr. Particular foci of the 
session will be the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition, climatic trends 
during the Holocene, changes in the Southern Hemisphere atmospheric and 
oceanic circulation, changes in the Southern Hemisphere monsoons, 
terrestrial-marine-cryosphere connections and inter-hemispheric linkages. 
Presentations that use multi-proxy integration approaches and model-proxy 
linkages are also strongly encouraged.

We also expect a special issue in a peer-reviewed journal will come out of 
this session.

Please contacts one of the conveners if you require further information
about this session, see
