The main purpose of this session is to provide an opportunity for
discussion of recent progress and challenges in developing chronologies
in Arctic and Antarctic regions. Session organizers hope to include,
but are not limited to: research in the fields of ice-core chronology,
tephrochronology, dendrochronology and DNA analysis, as well as
cosmogenic nuclide, radiocarbon and luminescence dating. Session
conveners encourage a discussion of new developments in chronological
methods with regard to different paleoclimate archives and the
advantages and weaknesses of various methods. Please consider
submitting an abstract for this session.
