[Aqualist] SHeMaxc funding for INQUA

[Lynda Petherick]

Greetings all,

We have funding available to support 2-3 registrations for people who are submitting to our SHeMax session at INQUA 2019: The last glaciation in the Southern Hemisphere (description below).

Early career researchers, PhDs and researchers from developing countries are eligible to apply for this funding. To apply, please send me an email (lynda.petherick at vuw.ac.nz) with your abstract attached. Your abstract must have already been submitted to our session online. Please specify if you have requested a poster or an oral presentation, and whether you are an ECR/PhD/DCR. The deadline to apply for this funding is Friday December 14.

We are also welcoming all submissions to our session. Abstract submission deadline is January 9th. There will be a special edition associated with our session –details to come.

We look forward to seeing you at INQUA!

Apologies for any cross-posting.

Cheers,
Lynda, Jamie & Jasper

Session description:
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.
