Dear colleague,

 
We would like to inform you of our AGU session: Terrestrial Sedimentary 
Record of Cenozoic Topography, Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironments 
(T52). We welcome you to submit an abstract about your related research 
to our session before the AGU abstract deadline on August 4th, 2011.  
This year’s AGU meeting will be held in San Francisco, California on 
December 5-9th, 2011. 

Below is a brief description of our session. If you have any questions, 
please let any of us know.

 

Description: This session seeks contributions that investigate the Cenozoic 
terrestrial sedimentary record to 1) reconstruct topographic changes of 
mountain ranges or plateaus to understand tectonic processes and 2) 
reconstruct major climatic and environmental events and explore their 
possible causes. We encourage submissions of field, laboratory and 
modeling studies using and/or evaluating different proxies and 
methodologies including, but not limited to, stable isotope geochemistry, 
thermochronology, paleobotany, paleopedology, and paleoclimate 
modeling that will stimulate debate on the interpretation of the Cenozoic 
sedimentary record, and interactions between climate and uplift.

 

Thank you for your attention.

 
Sincerely

 
Session co-conveners:

Arlington), [log in to unmask]
