[Reminder] CFP: Geoarchaeology session at INQUA 2015 Nagoya (deadline: 20 Dec)

[Geoarchaeology IAG]

Dear Colleague,

You are warmly invited to the geoarchaeology session at the XIX INQUA Congress "Quaternary Perspectives on Climate Change, Natural Hazards and Civilization" held at Nagoya, Japan, on July 27 to August 1, 2015. This session is supported by the IAG Working Group on Geoarchaeology.

 

Session H07 - Geoarchaeology: Human-environment interactions and palaeo-geohazards

 

[Conveners] Sumiko Kubo, Vanessa Mary An Heyvaert, Yasuhisa Kondo, and Masatomo Umitsu

 

[Scope] In a changing world, in which climate and sea-level change impact on human habitats, geoarchaeological research is highly relevant. The way past cultures coped with environmental change and natural hazards provide important lessons for human responses to future environmental changes. Moreover, human activities have left many fingerprints on our natural environment during past millennia, especially during the ‘Anthropocene’, the geological epoch debated by earth scientists as characterised by extensive anthropogenic influence. Assessment of landscapes’ resilience to human impact and environmental change can assist in solving present and future environmental problems. This requires a deep understanding of physical processes including natural as well as anthropogenic drivers of environmental change.

Geomorphological, palaeoenvironmental and sedimentological approaches in geoarchaeological studies frequently lack the integration of archaeological and historical data. This session therefore aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform to define the present state of geoarchaeological science. The session will stimulate the debate on new approaches to study human-environmental interaction and address research themes such as ‘palaeo-geohazards’ (tsunami, earthquakes, landslides, coastal and fluvial flooding, etc.). We welcome interdisciplinary papers dealing with the study and quantification of past human-environment interactions and particularly (but not limited to): (1) human impact on and adaptation to climate and sea-level change; and (2) natural hazards on various temporal and spatial scales (Pleistocene and Holocene, equatorial and polar, coastal and inland plains, wetland and dryland, urban and rural, etc.). This session is supported by the IAG-International Working Group on Geoarchaeology.

[Arthur Glais]

Dear organizer of INQUA Nagoya,

My name is Arthur GLAIS, I'm PhD student in the University of Caen Lower Normandy, (France) and participate since the IAG in Paris, at the mailing list "IAG Working Group on Geoarchaeology". Before the last week, I did have the financial support submission, It was impossible for me to check in online in this session....

So, I would really like participate to the XIX Inqua congress in Nagoya, but on the website , the deadline for abstract submission is past since less and more 1 month... Now, I have financial support from the GFG (group of french geomorphologist) to this aim.

It's definitively later, or if I send you my abstract in few days, My registration still possible?

Thanks for your comprehension,

Wishing you  a good week-end,

Best regards,

Arthur Glais
