[Coral-List] Call for abstracts - EGU Vienna 2017 - Annually resolved archives of marine climate change

[Tamara Trofimova]

Dear all,

Sorry for cross-posting. Please do not hesitate to circulate.

We are organizing the session CL1.18/OS2.9 “Annually resolved archives 
of marine climate change” at the upcoming EGU (European Geosciences 
Union) conference in Vienna (23rd-28th April 2017) and would like to 
encourage you to submit an abstract for this session.

We are inviting oral and poster presentations that focus on highly 
resolved archives of marine climate change, including archives  from 
corals, bivalve molluscs, coralline algae, sclerosponges, and fish 
otoliths. Such high-resolution proxy archives have the potential to make 
important contributions to our understanding of the regional and 
near-term impacts of climate change. This session will highlight 
advances and ongoing research in all the disciplines associated with 
these archives, including
(i) the biological and environmental drivers of growth increment 
formation;
(ii) the use of growth rates as well as structural and geochemical data 
as proxies of past marine environments and marine climate, and
(iii) the use of these archives in proxy-model comparisons.

The relevant page in the EGU programme and a link for abstract 
submission can be found at 
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2017/session/24431

The deadline for the abstract submission is 11 January 2017 (or 1st 
December 2016 if you are applying for financial support).

We hope to see many of you at EGU 2017!

Best wishes,
Tamara Trofimova
