Extended deadline for INQUA Congress Submissions; Round Tables On Urban Dark Earth (VUB and University of Basel)

[Maria Bronnikova]

Dear colleagues,

 

I would like to kindly remind you of the approaching extended deadline (March 31) for abstract submission to the INQUA Congress, which will take place January 28 - February 3 2027 in India. We warmly encourage you to consider submitting your contributions to our session:

S_059 – Paleosols as indicators of past environments and human impacts
(see attached flyer)
https://www.inquaindia2027.in/sessions/s-059

At present, the congress program includes several closely related sessions. In particular, there are two sessions focused on paleopedology:

• S_059 – Paleosols as indicators of past environments and human impacts (organized by IUSS Commission 1.6 Paleopedology and the INQUA Paleopedology Working Group)

• S_016 – Quaternary soils: an important tool for paleoclimatic and archaeological reconstructions
  https://www.inquaindia2027.in/sessions/s-016

To support a strong and cohesive paleosol community and to avoid scheduling overlaps, the Commission and Working Group officers, together with the conveners of session S_059, will reach out to the organizers of session S_016 and the Congress committee to explore the possibility of merging these sessions.

We very much hope to see many of your contributions and to build a vibrant and well-represented paleopedology program at the Congress.

 

Please also find attached an announcement and invitation to participate in the Dark Earth round tables. I believe this event may be of particular interest to those working in archaeological micromorphology, especially within urban paleoenvironmental contexts.

 

With best regards,
Maria Bronnikova

 Dear colleagues and friends,

 

We are happy to announce the provisional program of our two Dark Earth Round Tables that we will organise on the 19th of  May in Brussels and on the 11th of June in Basel (see circular in attachment).

The registration for both the Round Table in Brussel and/or Basel are now open. Please note: the number of available places is limited.

 

We look forward to welcome you at one of the two Round Tables.

 

On behalf of the organising committee,

Yannick
