[Aqualist] INQUA 2027: AQUA session

[Ali Kimbrough]

Hi Everyone,

I thought I'd pop this in here as well. We also have a session on multi-proxy perspectives of monsoon climate and IPWP teleconnections (S_153).

Session description:
'Multi-proxy perspectives of monsoon-to-polar climate connectivity and links to the Indo- Pacific Warm Pool'
The Indo-Pacific Warm Pool (IPWP) is located at the cross-roads of global climate teleconnections. Throughout the Quaternary, ocean-atmosphere systems across tropical and high-latitude regions have linked the IPWP to global climate, particularly through monsoon dynamics and polar climate variability. These coupled systems influence both hydroclimate and ecosystems, with cascading effects on human societies. This session invites research that explores the interplay of global climate systems in shaping variability within the IPWP, using multi-proxy (e.g., stable isotopes, pollen, biomarker) approaches, focusing on hydroclimate variability, temperature trends, vegetation changes, and human-environment interactions. We encourage high-resolution records from natural archives (e.g., speleothems, lake and marine sediments), and climate model simulations to investigate the timing, mechanisms, and consequences of climate and environmental transitions.

Dear members,

Sessions have been posted for the INQUA 2027 meeting in India.

The registration section says abstracts are due 31st January, 2026

AQUA's session has been accepted. This is a general session classed as a "Regional Synthesis".

To select this session, choose "Synthesis-Data and Modelling" then the session title:

Quantifying climate change in Australasia: challenges and Opportunities

Lead Convener
Tim Barrows

Co-Conveners
Lydia Mackenzie, Kat Fitzsimmons, Teresa Dixon, Calla Gould-Whaley, Juliet Sefton

Session description:
Australasia occupies an important zone at the confluence of the Pacific, Indian and Southern Oceans. Environments in the region range from tropical rainforest, to deserts, mountains, subantarctic islands and tundra. The deserts of central Australia are an important feature that have contracted and expanded through time, as have the temperate forests and grasslands. This vast array of ecosystems presents significant challenges for finding records of climate change that are both spatially representative and temporally continuous. This leaves some major gaps for reconstructing environments and quantifying past climate variability as a basis from which to compare present-day and future climate change. Continuous paleoclimate records can be found in lakes, wetlands, speleothems, and deep marine environments, but many areas only provide fragmentary records in the form of moraines, sand dunes, fluvial deposits and lake shorelines. This session will focus on new records that address!
these challenges for understanding climate and environmental change in Australia, Aotearoa-New Zealand, and Oceania. We invite presentations that improve existing chronologies or that discuss climate or environmental proxies, particularly studies that provide new insights or provide quantitative records. We particularly welcome presentations on cold intervals and records from the last glacial maximum through to the late Holocene.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Tim
