Northern Eurasian palaeoecological database workshop

 

14th-19th April 2008

 

School of Geography, University of Southampton, UK

 

As part of the QUEST Deglaciation programme
(http://quest.bris.ac.uk/programme/themes/deglaciation.html),
Southampton University is hosting a data-gathering workshop for
academics from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) working in palaeoecology.
The primary objective of this workshop is to catalogue the unpublished
pollen data from the FSU spanning the interval 21 kyr to present and
place it in a recently developed QUEST pollen database [web portal in
preparation]. The workshop has invited 8 academics from the FSU who will
participate in an intensive four-day programme focused around populating
the database, group discussion, analysis of output and publication
plans. The workshop is partly sponsored by PAGES.

 

No further funding is available to attend the workshop but if you wish
to register your interest in receiving notification of the public launch
of the database or have unpublished macrofossil data from the FSU and
you would like to contribute, please contact Heather Binney (details
below).
