[Aqualist] AGU FALL MEETING ABSTRACTS

[Michael Fletcher]

Hi All,

We are running a session at the AGU Fall Meeting in December titled:

The Last Glacial Termination in the Mid and High Latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere

Abstract: The Last Glacial Termination represents one of the largest global climatic changes in the past 800 thousand years. It involved rapid melting of ice masses across the planet, reorganization of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system, sea level rise, increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases, and major changes in biota. The tight coupling between atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere in the southern extra-tropics make this area particularly interesting for constraining the mechanisms governing rapid, widespread, large-magnitude climate changes. We invite abstracts from all disciplines, including terrestrial, marine, and modelling studies, that focus on the Last Glacial Termination in the mid- and high latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. This session will provide a multi-disciplinary environment to discuss timing, structure, and mechanisms of the sequence of events that shaped paleoclimatic changes during this time period.

If you are considering going to AGU and/or have data relevant for the above topic and might be keen to go, please submit an abstract or contact me for more information (michael.fletcher at unimelb.edu.au<mailto:michael.fletcher at unimelb.edu.au>).

Cheers,
Michael.
