The time series of extreme events should be compared with meteorological, historical and/or paleoclimatological data in order to discuss possible effects of climate change on the occurrence and characteristics of extremes in the past. Since dating of the sediment archives is a critical issue to improve the interpretation of proxy reconstructions, contributions based state of the art geochronological methods, multiple dating approaches and on annually laminated archives are encouraged. We would also be interested to hear from researchers using dendro archives of natural hazards. Abstract submissions are now open and can be submitted to this session using the following link: Link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2010/session/2596 ****The deadline for abstract submission is 18th January 2010*** * General information on the EGU 2010 meeting can be found at http://meetings.copernicus.org/egu2010/home.html We hope to see you in Vienna in 2010, Achim and Varyl.
