Session title Continental carbonates for understanding Quaternary environment and climate changes
Session description: Continental carbonates, such as speleothems, travertines, pedogenic, lacustrine, subglacial, and cryogenic carbonates, are key terrestrial archives providing precisely dated, high-resolution records of Quaternary environmental and climate changes. The field of carbonate-based paleoclimatology has seen advancements in analytical techniques, environmental monitoring, proxy-system interpretation and models, and proxy databases. These developments enable highly reliable qualitative and quantitative terrestrial climate reconstructions and facilitate regional-to-global scale analysis using large data and model comparisons. At the same time, they permit to picture the climate framework enabling human species, cultural and technological evolution. This session seeks integrated interdisciplinary studies on carbonates climate-sensitive proxies - of any kind - at various time scales. Contributions showing new proxies, novel records of quaternary climatic/environmental changes, research related to proxy-models as well as the relation between human and climate are particularly welcome.
