[Aqualist] AOGS Session: Lake Studies of Environmental Change

[Gouramanis Christos]

Dear all (and apologies for cross posting),


Sean Pyne-O'Donnell, Stefan Engels and I are organizing a session on "Lake Studies of Environmental Change" at the upcoming AOGS meeting in Honolulu, 3-8 June 2018. The session description is below and we are keen to have a diverse range of experts participate.

Session Description



Lake sediments archive environmental change (climate change, pollution, land use) and geological processes (landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes) over a wide variety of timescales spanning relatively recent (Anthropocene) to multi-millennial (Quaternary and older). Within lacustrine systems, sediments are preserved that include biotic, chemical, mineralogical and geophysical proxies that are ideal for reconstructing past natural and anthropogenic environmental change. At the same time, lacustrine systems preserve proxies for refining when and the persistence of the environmental changes, and thus provide material for developing robust chronologies for environmental and geological events using a variety of techniques, e.g. annual laminations, 14C, optically stimulated luminescence, tephrochronology, etc. This session invites contributions that apply a variety of proxies (both reconstructional and geochronological) for environmental reconstruction and/or the development and refinement of these proxies in lakes from Asia-Oceania.

Below are more details about the session. Abstract submission is now open and closes 19 January 2018 (http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2018/public.asp?page=abstract.htm).

Best wishes,
Chris
