To coincide with Past Global Changes (PAGES) annual Scientific Steering Committee Meeting, to be held from 22-23 May 2018 at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA, a one-day symposium will be conducted on campus in Room 401-20, Tate Hall, on 24 May.
Description
The "Continental archives of Past Global Changes: from Quaternary to Anthropocene" Symposium consists of a morning session from 10:00-12:00, a tour of the LacCore/CSDCO facilities from 13:30-14:30, and an afternoon session from 15:00-17:00.
Approximately 15 presentations, from experts in their field, will be given on topics ranging from sulfate pollution in lakes, vegetation feedbacks, terrestrial and aquatic proxies, past landscape dynamics and human impacts, and glacial geology of the local region.
All are welcome to attend. No registration required.
