  Information - CL32 Advances in Quaternary Geochronology (co-listed in GM)

Event Information
Reconstructing past climates and earth system responses to climate and environmental change relies heavily on precise and accurate chronologies. Radiocarbon dating continues to play a vital role in providing chronological control over the last 50,000 years, but advances in recent years on a range of other geochronological techniques that are applicable to the Quaternary have made a much wider diversity of methods available.

In this session, applications are particularly welcome that aim to (1) reduce, quantify and express dating uncertainties in any dating method, including high-resolution radiocarbon approaches, (2) use established geochronological methods to answer new questions, (3) use new methods to address longstanding issues, or (4) combine different chronometric techniques for improved results. Applications may aim to understand long term landscape evolution, provide rates of geomorphological processes, or provide chronologies for records of climate change.
