Carissimi Associati SGI,
Carissimi Soci delle Società Associate,
su indicazione del Dott.ssa Gaia Crippa (Università di Milano), vi invitiamo alla sottomissione di contributi per la sessione SSP4.4: "Macrofossil remains and geochemical proxies as high-resolution archives of past environmental change" che si terrà nell'ambito del congresso EGU 2026, in programma a Vienna dal 3 all'8 maggio 2026 (egu26.eu).
Per ulteriori informazioni vi rimandiamo di seguito al messaggio di promozione.
Cordiali saluti,
La Segreteria SGI
"Macrofossil remains and geochemical proxies as high-resolution archives of past environmental change"
In this session we welcome a broad range of contributions from researchers investigating changes in species and ecosystems in relation to climate variability and/or human impacts across both the deep time and the recent past, using skeletal remains. We encourage contributions that focus on biotic interactions, species and community dynamics, sclerochronology, isotope geochemistry, trait-based analyses, morphometric approaches, and ancient DNA/sedimentary DNA, in particular conservation-oriented case studies that combine data from modern biota and fossil remains. Paleoecological archives documenting histories of environmental disturbance and their ecological consequences, as well as paleobiogeographic reconstructions, exploring how species' spatial patterns have responded to past environmental change, are also welcomed. The aim is to examine long-term records, to gain insights into the potential consequences of present-day environmental stressors and climate change, to reconstruct past dynamics of species and ecosystem changes, and thus to obtain valuable insights that can help us sketch the near-future trajectories of contemporary ecosystems.
Deadline for abstract submission: 15 January 2026, 13:00 CET.
We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and to an enthusiastic participation in this session!
