INQUA XV International Congress

Durban, South Africa
August 3-11, 1999
 

Theme Symposium
The environmental background to hominid evolution in Africa
 

Other Symposia Out of Africa Combining palaeoenvironmental observations and modelling to understand past climate changes within the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project Isotope Stage 3 model-data comparisons Long Pleistocene records Glacier deforming bed processes Quaternary economic deposits Interactions between arid and humid records of Quaternary change in drylands Eemian Interglacial: a global perspective Pleistocene/Holocene transition in Africa Quaternary river systems: responses to climate change Quaternary collapsing soils Integration of ice core, marine and terrestrial records from the North Atlantic region over Termination 1 The hominization process in Africa: environmental change and early human evolution between 3 and 1 Ma ago Fluvial paleohydrology and global environmental change Magnitude and frequency in the glacial and glaciofluvial sedimentary record of modern and ancient glaciers Extent and chronology of glaciation Human impact on sedimentary records Carbon cycle changes: peak glacial versus peak interglacial Marine, ice and continental records of the last 0.5 Ma Calibration of pollen to climate above the treeline Ultra-high resolution records of the Late Holocene Ice-sheets, crustal movements and seismicity: neotectonics of glaciated and deglaciated terrains Paleosol sequences as evidence of long- and short-term climatic cycles Tephrochronology Commission

Proposed Poster Sessions Migration of Asiatic (Turanian) arid ecosystems to East and South Africa during the Miocene/Pliocene and the environmental conditions contributing to the evolution of the Hominidae Ice Age glaciation and mountain environments in north and high Asia The influence of solar variability on Holocene climate Quaternary geology, paleoseismology and seismic hazard for critical facilities such as nuclear power plants Holocene history of Mediterranean ecosystems Taphonomy and paleoecology of micromammals in Quaternary archaeological and palaeontological sites Impact of tectonics on earth surface processes Progress in the reconstruction and modelling of southern hemisphere climates since isotope stage 7 Extreme events in the Quaternary record Quaternary and Holocene sedimentary records and their palaeoenvironmental interpretation in Central Africa Paleolithic geoarcheology PalaeoFrance: palaeoenvironments and man in France during the Last Glacial Maximum and Holocene Optimum Issues in southern hemisphere permafrost and periglacial research Current periglacial research and paleoclimatic reconstruction Subarctic environmental change in the northern and southern hemispheres Climatic change data from karst deposits European late Pleistocene isotopic stages 2 and 3: humans, their ecology and cultural adaptations
