Apologies for cross posting There are five days left to take advantage of the discounted early bird registration fees for the 12th International Paleolimnology Symposium being held in Glasgow in August. The deadline for this is the 15th May, but you don't need to have your abstract ready to submit as the deadline for abstracts is the 1st July.
So you can take advantage of the discounted rate and come back to submit your abstract. There is a diverse range of sessions proposed that covers every aspect of palaeolimnology from understanding more recent environmental changes and impacts to long-term geological climate variability documented by lake drill cores, from mountain to high latitude lakes and the development of novel biomarkers, biogenic isotopes to constraining lake sediment chronologies. There is something for everyone! Of particular relevance to ECOLOG-L are the sessions: Session 2: Applied palaeolimnology http://paleolim.org/ips2012/index.php/programme/special-sessions/2-applied-palaeolimnology/ Session 6: Regional integration of recent lake sediments for management of landscapes, ecosystems and ecosystem services http://paleolim.org/ips2012/index.php/programme/special-sessions/4-environmental-change-in-high-latitudes/ Session 9: Thirty years of quantitative palaeoenvironmental reconstructions: lessons from the past and future challenges http://paleolim.org/ips2012/index.php/programme/special-sessions/9-thirty-years-of-quantitative-palaeoenvironmental-reconstructions/ Session 12: Land, sea and society: palaeoenvironmental perspectives on coastal, brackish and saline systems http://paleolim.org/ips2012/index.php/programme/special-sessions/12-land-sea-and-society-palaeoenvironmental-perspectives/ Session 14: Palaeoecological reflections of biodiversity: challenges and new advances http://paleolim.org/ips2012/index.php/programme/special-sessions/14-palaeoecological-reflections-of-biodiversity-challenges-and-new-advances/ So please consider attending IPS2012 this summer and we look forward to seeing you there.
