Lo que sigue es la información que me han enviado mis colegas desde Alemania, y se refiere al tema que es mi especialidad, razón por la cual tengo con ellos estrechos lazos.

Por eso he usado  ( a falta de otra cosa) ,para ilustrar el post una foto en la cual se ve un perfil de loess en el que la que suscribe trata de desentrañar información como la que se describe más abajo.

Debido a que el idioma oficial de la reunión es el inglés, considero innecesaria la traducción, ya que quien desee participar deberá necesariamente manejar de manera fluida ese idioma.

We encourage submission of abstracts to the Paleoceanography and
Paleoclimatology session PP03 ++ Loess 2.0 ++ for the AGU Fall Meeting,
San Francisco, California, USA to be held December 13-17, 2010. This
session aims to provide a lively forum to review fundamental scientific
steps in the study of aeolian sediment archives and discuss new
innovative approaches that enhance our understanding of those records.

Submissions by students and young scientists are particularly encouraged!

The deadline for submission of abstracts is 02 September, 2010, 2359 EDT
(Eastern Daylight Time). Abstract Submissions is open.

Session Announcement:
In recent years, rapid advances in the application of highly resolved
sedimentological and geochemical studies, in combination with various
geochronometric techniques and chronostratigraphic tools, have opened up
new vistas in the investigation of paleo-records of atmospheric dust
loading using aeolian sediment deposits. As these sediments are
widespread on the continents, novel multi-proxy investigations enhance
our understanding of long-term aeolian dust dynamics and climate
variability, linking intra to inter-hemispheric climates on time scales
ranging from glacial-interglacial to (sub)millennial.

Innovative contributions are welcome on the application of new and
established methodological approaches; results on stratigraphy,
geochronology, paleoclimatology, paleoenvironmental assessment; and
geoarchaeology of aeolian deposits in the Northern and Southern
Hemispheres. We especially encourage papers that either

(a) utilize high-resolution loess & dust records to reconstruct the
timing and dynamics of past synoptic atmospheric circulation patterns on
regional and inter-hemispheric scales;

(b) establish precise correlations and define atmospheric mechanisms
that link continental loess/dust records with aeolian records in ice
cores and/or the oceans; or

(c) address the challenging effort to incorporate the dust proxies of
past atmospheric processes into climate models.

This session aims to provide a lively forum to review fundamental
scientific steps in the study of aeolian sediment archives and discuss
new innovative approaches that enhance our understanding of those
records. Submissions by students and young scientists are particularly
encouraged!

Saludos y buen viaje, si parten para aquellos rumbos, Graciela

Como vengo reservando los miércoles para gacetillas, les presento hoy la información que me envía mi colega la Dra Helen Roberts, desde el Reino Unido, aunque no deben confundirse: el evento se realizará en Estados Unidos.

No me gasto en traducirles la gacetilla, porque todo el evento se realizará en inglés, y en ese idioma deben presentarse los trabajos. Si no pueden leer la información de más abajo, ni intenten participar del congreso porque estarían más perdido que pingüino en Copacabana, ¿no les parece?
