Quaternary Techniques Short course

This short course is intended for students and researchers in all areas of earth and environmental sciences who are faced with questions such as:

• What types of archives contain paleoenviromental information?
• What is the most appropriate environmental indicator at my site?
• What proxies are used for climate change?
• How do I interpret these isotope data?
• What techniques are best for which type of stratigraphic records?


This course is not intended to duplicate university classes, but to offer a concentrated two-day workshop in specialized techniques presented by experts in their own fields of research.

The format of the workshop consists of lectures, laboratory visits and question-answer sessions to discuss issues such as sample selection, sample preparation and interpretation of results.
