Topic:
Marine and terrestrial sediments deposited through Earth’s history record a variety of different proxies of Earth’s environmental and climatic evolution. For this session, contributions are encouraged that relate to environmental and climatic interpretations of all sedimentary deposits and rocks of marine, lacustrine and terrestrial origin. Topics shall cover millennial to million year time scales. Presentations may include biological, geochemical and physical aspects or synergistic efforts combining different paleoenvironmental reconstructing methods. Contributions presenting novel approaches or analytical techniques for environmental archive analysis are particularly welcome.
