We invite abstracts for the following session at the XVII INQUA Congress
(Cairns, Australia, 28 July - 3 August 2007):
Applications, Advances and New Frontiers for Cosmogenic Nuclides
Convenor: Timothy T. Barrows (Nuclear Physics Department, ANU)
The past twenty years have seen a rapid expansion in the application of
cosmogenic isotopes to an array of Quaternary dating problems. From
humble beginnings, cosmogenic nuclides now have applications in fields as
diverse as geology, geomorphology, palaeoclimatology, geophysics,
palaeoseisomology, and palaeoceanography.
We invite contributions from all researchers who use cosmogenic isotopes
in Quaternary research, especially in palaeoclimatology. Abstracts are
particularly welcome from those involved in calibration of cosmogenic
nuclide production rates or refining the systematics used in dating.
There will be an invited keynote speaker and an oral as well as a poster
session.
Abstracts should be submitted to via the conference web site
http://www.inqua2007.net.au/
(The deadline for abstract submission is 31st January 2007).
