[Aqualist] SHAPE Workshop: Quaternary variability, abrupt change and tipping points, 2-3 February 2018

[Steven J Phipps]

Southern Hemisphere Assessment of PalaeoEnvironments (SHAPE) Workshop:
Quaternary variability, abrupt change and tipping points

2-3 February 2018

Hosted at The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
University of Wollongong, NSW Australia

SHAPE is an International Focus Group supported by the Palaeoclimate
Commission of INQUA (PALCOM). It provides a support network for
palaeoclimate / palaeoenvironmental research by Quaternary scientists
working within the Southern Hemisphere. Details about SHAPE can be found
at this website: http://www.inqua.org/PALCOM/pcSHAPE.html

We invite researchers who have an interest in climate variability, abrupt
change and tipping points to participate in the upcoming SHAPE workshop on
2-3 February 2018, to be held at the University of Wollongong.

Wollongong is located approximately two hours south of Sydney by train. We
have planned this workshop to occur immediately prior to the joint
Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society/International
Conference on Southern Hemisphere Meteorology and Oceanography
(AMOS-ICSHMO) conference, which is being held in Sydney from 5-9 February
2018. Further information on this meeting can be found here:
https://www.amos-icshmo2018.com.au

The workshop will produce a group synthesis paper on the current state of
knowledge and future recommendations for the development of late
Quaternary proxy networks and model simulations that capture evidence of
variability, abrupt change and tipping points.

If you would like to participate, then please register here:

Registrations will remain open until 15 December 2017.

There will be no registration fee for this workshop. Limited travel and
subsistence support will also be available for early career researchers
(those who completed their PhD less than eight years ago, excluding career
interruptions). If you wish to request travel support, then you must
register by 20 November 2017.

A circular will be available in early November with details about the
schedule, venue, transport and accommodation options.
