[Aqualist] ECR workshop on socio-environmental systems - November 2020 - La Serena, Chile

[Haidee Rochelle Cadd]

Dear AQUA folks,


On behalf of the organising committee, we are pleased to invite you to participate in the joint PAGES-INQUA workshop for early-career researchers:


Past Socio-Environmental Systems (PASES)

Where: La Serena, Chile (in the archaeological museum!)

When: 9-13 November 2020


Please see attached relevant information in the first circular.


The workshop aims to facilitate scientific exchange between early-career researchers (ECRs) from a broad range of disciplines, that work within the overarching theme of climate-environment- cultural change, which is at the core of both PAGES' and INQUA's missions. We welcome innovative ideas and approaches that tackle multiple hypotheses of change in past socioenvironmental systems and challenges associated with human, environment and climate interactions at different time and spatial scales.

The workshop will include five days of oral and poster presentations by ECRs and breakout groups in which participants will work on community-driven scientific questions. We need you to pre-register by January 2020 indicating your topic of interest for the meeting. We especially welcome ECRs researching the social side of paleosciences with links to paleoclimate and paleocological data and models. Conference participants will be early-career researchers who obtained or expect to receive their PhD in or after 2011 (within the first 8 years after completion, at the moment of registration, being May 2020).

Please fill out this form to pre-register: https://forms.gle/houBBe7tufgZpiRH8

A limited number of grants will be available to support ECRs in registration and/or travel, especially those coming from low-GDP per Capita countries. Decision on grants are scheduled for May 2020 in time to book flights and arrange visa if needed. Tentative costs are $200. This includes conference and field trip participation, coffee breaks, lunches, and four nights' accommodation including breakfast in a shared-room hostel at walking distance of the venue.

Best wishes,
Michela (on behalf of the organising committee)
