[Aqualist] INQUA 2019 session: The last glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere

[Lynda Petherick]

Greetings AQUA members,

INQUA Dublin 2019 abstract submissions are now open! http://www.inqua2019.org/call-for-abstracts/

We hope you'll consider submitting an oral or poster presentation to our session: The last glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere.

We invite contributions related to the timing and nature of environmental and climatic variability during the termination of the last glacial cycle (defined here as 35-15 kyr BP) in the Southern Hemisphere (20-80oS). We welcome records from high-resolution marine and coastal sediments, lake sediments, speleothems, ice cores, glacial moraines, dunes, fluvial systems and model simulations. This session contributes to the INQUA-funded SHeMax (The LGM in the Southern Hemisphere) project. SHeMax seeks to develop a clearer understanding of climatic variability during the period 35-15 kyr, towards reconstructing the nature and timing of the LGM across the Southern Hemisphere, and identifying regional synchroneity, millennial-scale climatic variability, the response of humans to environmental change, and the drivers of such change.

There there will likely be a proceedings volume in an international journal arising from our session.
Apologies for any cross-posting.

Hope to see you there,
