Dear colleagues,
with best wishes for a happy and successful 2017 the convenor team would like to draw your attention to a specific session at 2017’s EGU General Assembly in Vienna 23. – 28.April 2017:
GM10.1/CL1.33/CR4.8 The Legacy of Mountain Glaciations – Glacial landforms and their palaeoclimatic interpretation (co-organized)
and submit an abstract via the related EGU website that also provides further details:
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/24200
(Note the abstract submission deadline: 11 January 2017, 13:00 CET)
The overarching aim of this session is to evaluate the potential of mountain glaciations records and stimulate further research in this important field of research. Contributions on all relevant aspects of the topic are welcomed, for example: (a) glacial landforms and reconstruction of past glaciers, (b) dating techniques and geochronology compilations, (c) glacier dynamics and palaeoclimatic interpretations, or (d) impacts of ecosystems and human evolution/society. Submissions targeting these connections are specifically encouraged. To address the diversity of mountain glaciations, contributions from high-, middle-, and low-latitude mountain ranges as well as from continental to maritime regions are all welcomed. The time scale of the session will cover the whole time range from Early Pleistocene glaciations to the LGM and Holocene/modern glaciers.
The session ultimately aims to facilitate a closer connection between different topological, methodological, and regional working groups related to various aspects of mountain glaciations in space and time. It is further designed to give everyone interested in the emerging collaborative research network “The Legacy of Mountain Glaciations” an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and expertise.
Hope to see many of you in Vienna in April 2017,
