VI Iberian Quaternary Meeting 2005

John Mackintosh Hall (Gibraltar)

26th – 28th September, 2005

Following the decision taken by the General Assembly of AEQUA which took place in Oviedo (2003), during the XI National Meeting of the Quaternary, Gibraltar was selected as the venue for the VI Iberian Quaternary Meeting.

The subject of this meeting – The Iberian Peninsula and its population by Hominids – has been brought about by the great international interest that there is on the subject of Human Evolution and its dispersal throughout the Quaternary, the Iberian Peninsula as a zone of transit, habitat, and refugia of populations, and on the Strait of Gibraltar as a possible bridge between ‘temporal windows of opportunity’.

Despite this preferred theme, other publications on work that is being carried out or applications that are related to other Quaternary fields will be accepted. Work on other areas outside the Iberian Peninsula will be acceptable, but preference will be given to those within the Mediterranean area.

A joint IGCP 495 – INQUA Meeting

AGU (American Geophysical Union) Fall Meeting 2006

Moscone Center West, 800 Howard Street San Francisco, CA, USA

11th – 15th December, 2006

Conveners: Brady Rhodes, Martitia Tuttle & Ben Horton


Arctic Palaeoclimate and its Extremes (APEX) 2008

Second International Conference and Workshop

Department of Geography, Durham University, Durham City, UK

1st April – 4th April, 2008

APEX – Arctic Palaeoclimate and its Extremes is a network research programme aiming to understand Arctic climatic changes beyond instrumental records and which builds on the work of PONAM and QUEEN. Our particular emphasis is to focus on the magnitude/frequency of the climate variability and, in particular, the “extremes” versus the “normal” conditions of the climate system. It is an interdisciplinary programme that integrates marine and terrestrial science and utilizes modelling and field observations. APEX involves scientists from 15 European countries, Canada and USA and is one of the coordinating programmes for palaeoclimate research during 2007/2008.


Biennial meeting of the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA) at Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, USA

AMQUA Biennial Meeting 2008

Theme: ‘Quaternary Ice Sheet-Ocean Interactions and Landscape Responses’

Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA

5th – 8th June, 2008 (with field trips June 4th & June 8th – 9th)

Program Chairs: Jeffrey P. Donnelly and Ben P. Horton


IGC-OSLO, Joint Session with IGCP 495 2008

Sea level fluctuations: Past, present and future

Oslo, Norway

6th – 14th August, 2008

Conveners: Willy Fjeldskaar, Lawrence Cathles & Arto Miettinen

The session took place on Friday, 8th August, 2008.

The session will cover all aspects of sea-level change and should be of wide interest to colleagues in IGCP 495

“Quaternary Land-Ocean Interactions: Driving Mechanisms and Coastal Responses”


RGS – IBG, London, 2008

27th – 29th August, 2008

The coastal zone, although much appreciated for its aesthetic qualities, has been subjected to many changes during the Late Holocene.

For example, most sites along Scottish coasts are currently experiencing rising relative sea levels, despite long-term isostatic crustal uplift which produced falling relative sea levels prior to the onset of modern global sea level rise.
