Subject: INQUA 2011 Session 24: Quaternary glaciations of South America

Dear all

 We invite you to submit an abstract to a session at the XVIII INQUA
Congress (20-27th July 2011, Bern, Switzerland)

 *Session 24: Quaternary glaciations of South America*

We invite submissions to a Special Session on Quaternary glaciations of
South America. We are interested in submissions covering the full range of
Quaternary glacial environments in South America, from terrestrial mountain
environments to coastal and deep-marine glacial systems as well as
site-specific descriptions of glacial landforms, sediments, Quaternary
stratigraphy and geochronology. Key themes include, but are not restricted
to, studies of Quaternary geochronology, specific controversial glacial
landforms and their interpretation, the role of ice-bed processes in
controlling glacier dynamics and sedimentation, evaluations of glacial
processes using geological (geophysical, geomorphological and
sedimentological) evidence, reconstructions of past glacier and ice-sheet
basal thermal and hydrological characteristics and ice-sheet dynamics.
General contributions to South American glacial sedimentology and
stratigraphy and studies of how modern glacial environments can aid
interpretation of the ancient geological record are also welcome, as are
studies that use glacial landforms and sediments as geochronological and
palaeo-environmental indicators.

The deadline for submission is 30 Nov 2010.

Feel free to forward this message to colleagues who may be interested in
this session.



Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions about this
