[Aqualist] Quaternary Geochronology session at INQUA

[Tim Barrows]

From: Mathieu Duval <m.duval at griffith.edu.au>


INQUA 2019 abstract submission is now open.

Please consider submitting an abstract to our session "The Future of Quaternary Geochronology"; in the special sessions under INQUA Commission: Stratigraphy and Chronology



Description of Session: Many of the techniques utilised in Quaternary geochronology have evolved in recent years allowing higher precision, longer timescales or wider ranging applications. Intercomparison exercises and re-measurement of standards have enhanced the accuracy. In addition new methods for calculating ages from raw measurements have been developed, as well as the incorporation of associated information (e.g. stable isotopes, sediment properties, models of the underlying system, etc.) into statistical models to provide improved corrections or interpretation of results. This session will highlight current and potential advances in geochronological techniques over the entire range of the Quaternary as well as novel or complex applications and integration of records and timescales using these methods.



We will try to arrange a special issue in an appropriate journal if there are enough papers to make it worthwhile.

Hope to see you there!
