CHANGES IN CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT AT HIGH-LATITUDES
International Conference
31 October - 2 November 2001
University of Tromsø, Norway
The main purpose of this international conference is to bring together
geo-scientists studying late Quaternary climates and sedimentary
processes in high-latitude areas. The conference will cover topics such
as palaeoclimate, palaeoceanography, sedimentary processes on the
continental margin and in fjords, and glacial/deglacial history.
The conference is being organized as a collaboration among four research
programmes at the Department of Geology, University of Tromsø:
Sedimentary processes and palaeo-environments in northern fjords
(SPINOF); Rapid oceanographic changes in the Arctic: causes and effects
(NARP); Past Climates of the Norwegian Region (NORPAST) and Climate
archives (VISTA).
Invited speakers will include: John T. Andrews (University of Colorado,
Boulder, USA), Sigfus Johnson (University of Copenhagen, Denmark),
Michael J. Hambrey (University of Wales, U.K.), Jan Mangerud (University
of Bergen, Norway), Stefan Rahmstorf (Potsdam Institute for Climate
Impact Research, Germany)
