Organizers of session PP25, "Progress in Quaternary Geochronology in
Polar Regions," announce a call for abstracts. The session is being
convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, to be

Session Description:
The main purpose of this session is to discuss recent progress and
challenges in developing chronologies in arctic and antarctic regions.
Organizers hope to include research in the fields of ice-core
chronology, tephrochronology, dendrochronology and DNA analysis, as well
as cosmogenic nuclide, radiocarbon and luminescence dating. A discussion
of new developments in chronological methods with regard to different
paleoclimate archives and the advantages and weaknesses of various
methods is encouraged.
The abstract submission deadline for this and all other AGU sessions is:
Wednesday, 10 September 2008, at 11:59 p.m. Universal Time.
