We would like to draw your attention to the following session at the 11th International Paleolimnology Symposium, to be held 23-26 June 2009 in Guadalajara, Mexico: "Late Quaternary paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental records in lakes from the Southern Hemisphere".
Abstracts will be accepted until May 20, but please note that early registration ends March 20.

Session description: Compared to the Northern Hemisphere, paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental sedimentary records from the Southern Hemisphere are still relatively scarce. In this session, we invite a broad range of oral and poster contributions related to the reconstruction of past climate and environmental changes based on the analysis of lake sedimentary archives from the Southern Hemisphere, including Antarctica.We particularly encourage papers that focus on high-resolution paleoclimate records covering the last deglaciation, as well as more recent time-windows (e.g., LIA, MWP). We also invite contributions that deal with late Quaternary natural and
anthropogenic environmental changes, such as seismic and volcanic activity, pollution and changes in vegetation and limnology. Finally, we welcome contributions that are based on a wide variety of sedimentological, geochemical and biological proxies and we particularly encourage papers focusing on the application of novel proxies to study lakes in the Southern Hemisphere.
