Dear colleagues












I would like to draw your attention to the follow session at the European
Geosciences Union General Assembly 2008 in Vienna, Austria (13 - 18
April).&#160;












The deadline for abstracts is 14 January 2008 - next monday!&#160;




















CL32: Advances in Quaternary Geochronology (co-listed in GM)




=================================================












Reconstructing past climates and earth system responses to climate and
environmental change relies heavily on precise and accurate chronologies.
Radiocarbon dating continues to play a vital role in providing chronological
control over the last 50,000 years, but advances in recent years on a range
of other geochronological techniques that are applicable to the Quaternary
have made a much wider diversity of methods available.&#160;












In this session, applications are particularly welcome that aim to (1) reduce,
quantify and express dating uncertainties in any dating method, including
high-resolution radiocarbon approaches, (2) use established
geochronological methods to answer new questions, (3) use new methods
to address longstanding issues, or (4) combine different chronometric
techniques for improved results. Applications may aim to understand long
term landscape evolution, provide rates of geomorphological processes, or
provide chronologies for records of climate change.&#160;












We intend to publish papers presented at this session in a Special Issue -
further details are given on the EGU web site.

For information about the session then please look under the heading "Call-
for-Papers" on the right hand side of the screen.












Yours sincerely,
