LIMPACS "Salinity, Climate and Salinisation" working group - setting research priorities 2005-2010

LIMPACS is one of the three main activities of Focus 5 of PAGES. The meeting intends to bring together active researchers on the use of sedimentary histories, monitoring and modelling approaches to best understand the human and climate interactions that have regulated the salinity status of lakes and wetlands over the last 500 years. After brief sessions providing evidence of contemporary and innovative approaches to addressing the objectives, the participants will work to prioritise sites and approaches to develop the research program's aims internationally.
