Dear All, 

The GSA Annual Meeting is in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA – November 4^th -7^th 2018. Abstracts are due August 14^th.

Please see:

T181. Recent advances and future directions in paleoaltimetry and paleoclimate

Invited speakers:

Jay Quade, University of Arizona, USA

Christopher Poulsen, University of Michigan, USA

Andres Mulch, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany

 

Full Session Rationale:

Earth’s surface is an integrated expression of lithospheric and atmospheric processes involving tectonics, geodynamics, and climate. Documentation and quantification of major topographic changes in the geologic record are difficult and exciting challenges that are now attainable through a variety of proxy techniques. Recent efforts have led to a better understanding of linkages between lithosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere, with considerable advances in determining how changes in surface topography affect erosion, the organization of rivers, basin evolution, local and global climate, and biodiversity. Multidisciplinary collaborations are critical for the advancement of paleoaltimetry studies. We hope to facilitate discussions related to reconstructing past topography and the evolution of landscapes including new methods, case studies, key challenges, and future research directives. Therefore, we seek a diverse range of contributions including, but not limited to, stable isotope geochemistry, paleoecology, phylogenetics, geochronology, geomorphology, crustal deformation, sedimentary basin analysis, and geodynamic, geophysical, and (paleo-) climate modeling.
