Hi all, I just received a call for papers for the first Radiocarbon in the Environment conference-may be of interest for some zooarchs! Best, Suzanne Dear Colleagues, We wish to announce an extension to our call for session proposals for the inaugural Radiocarbon in the Environment Conference which will take place from the 18-22nd August 2014 at Queen’s University Belfast. We hope to bring together colleagues from around the globe interested in the applications of radiocarbon, stable isotopes and other biogeochemical methods in ecological and environmental research. Radiocarbon can be used for much more than chronology. Natural abundance, bomb and enriched radiocarbon, in addition to stable isotopes, have all been used in ecological and environmental investigations . We wish to invite session proposals at this time. The deadline for session proposals has been extended to midnight of the 30th November 2013. A call for abstracts will follow. The themes to be covered during the conference are: Radiocarbon and stable isotopes in freshwater environments Radiocarbon and stable isotopes in marine environments Radiocarbon and stable isotopes in terrestrial environments Radiocarbon and stable isotopes in the atmosphere Radiocarbon, stable isotopes and environmental change Techniques in radiocarbon and stable isotopes analysis Statistical methods in radiocarbon and stable isotope analysis Guidance on Submitting your Proposal Session proposals should have a title, names and affiliations of conveners, a brief abstract and keywords. You need to indicate which of our broad themes so they can be sent to the relevant members of the scientific committee to review. You should also indicate whether you propose an oral or poster session, or whether you wish to have both types of presentation. The abstract should say what the session covers, but also give an indication of what you want from speakers, i.e. the themes that you want the authors to adhere to when submitting talks/posters. The abstract should be within 400 words and emailed to [log in to unmask] The scientific committee will review the abstract submissions and contact conveners shortly after the session proposal deadline passed. The conference proceedings will be published by international journal Radiocarbon (http://www.radiocarbon.org/). More information can be found at: http://www.qub.ac.uk/sites/14C/ or by contacting [log in to unmask] Apologies for cross posting. We hope to see you in Belfast in August 2014!
