 Hi AQUAList,

This is a reminder to everyone that we are hosting a COST FREE workshop on
quantitative reconstructions of vegetation cover using pollen analysis.

There are places still available, so please let me know if you are
interested in attending.

The workshop will be run by Petr Kune in the School of Geography, University
of Melbourne on February 15, 2016.  This is an invitation to anyone who is
interested attending.


The details of the workshop are posted below.  Please let me know if you
would like to attend ASAP, so I can organise the appropriate room.  The
workshop will be held in the School of Geography at the University of
Melbourne, Parkville.  More specific location details will follow soon.

Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm/Quantitative Palynology Workshop

 

Petr Kune?, Dept. of Botany, Faculty of Science, Charles University in
Prague

 

This workshop will introduce participants to the tools needed to translate
pollen data into vegetation cover and species abundance. Quantitative
modelling of pollen data is widely applied in Europe and North America,
giving insights into past landscape change and human impact, as well as
being an essential component in climatic modelling.  Such techniques are yet
to be applied in Australia, where modelling of pollen data could inform
conservation strategies and inform debates on megafaunal extinction, fire
dynamics, vegetation thickening and human-environment interactions.

During the workshop a theoretical introduction will be given, followed by
practical computer training. For training purposes, example pollen data will
be provided. 

 

Programme

 

Mon 15.2.2016

9-10.00am: Morning presentation: Quantitative vegetation reconstruction
using pollen data: Theory of pollen analysis and introduction to the ERV
model 

10.30-12am: Quantitative landcover reconstruction exercise 1 (calculation of
pollen productivity estimates)

 

12?am-1pm: LUNCH

1-2pm: Afternoon presentation: Introduction to the Landscape reconstruction
algorithm and application of regional (REVEALS) and local (LOVE)
reconstruction models

2-4pm: Quantitative landcover reconstruction exercise 2 (application of the

Cheers

Michael.
