Open Session on Latest Highlights in Paleoscience

Convenors

Hubertus FischerDenis-Didier RousseauLiping Zhou

Description

The focus of the PAGES OSM "A compass of future Earth" is the intersection of paleoscience and sustainability research. However, many outstanding results in paleoscience are created constantly that redefine our understanding of the Earth system, but may not be directly targeted to resolve the pressing problems we face in the Anthropocene. It may be this basic, new knowledge that may open unforeseen avenues for the future. 

The "Open Session on latest highlights in paleoscience" is the stage for you to present such outstanding results and propose new avenues of paleoresearch, methods or topics to a broad interdisciplinary audience. Accordingly, the open session invites contributions from latest paleo reconstructions and modeling studies but explicitly invites also contributions that present new quantitative proxy developments, high-impact process studies, new methods in paleoclimate and biogeophysical science or latest developments in chronology.
