Holocene Environmental Catastrophes in South America: From the Lowlands to the Andes

We welcome presentations on catastrophic and rapid environmental changes anywhere in the world. We will focus on the multidisciplinary study of well-dated high resolution records of climatic and other environmental catastrophes in South America. Abstract submission has to deal with these major topics:

• Holocene climate changes in South America.
• High resolution and continuous records of climatic and environmental catastrophes
• Holocene fire history records
• Recent hydrological changes in South America
• Monitoring rapid geologic changes in Semi-arid regions (i.e., dust storms, dune formations and reactivations, eolian deflations, hydrological changes)
• Environmental and social consequences of earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, cosmogenic impacts, karst collapses, tsunamis, floods, droughts
• Holocene climate and South American cultural collapse
• Environmental impact on human health
