The second joint PAGES-INQUA early-career researcher in-person workshop "Past Socio-Environmental Systems (PASES)", which was planned for November 2021 in La Serena y Coquimbo, Chile, will now be held from 20-24 November 2022.
*Update from the organizers*
After two consecutive year postponements due to the COVID19 pandemic, we have decided to organize the in-person workshop in Chile, La Serena, between 20 and 24 November 2022. Until the workshop takes place, we propose to hold bimonthly get-togethers to engage the ECR community researching past-socio-environmental systems, with lessons learned from vPASES2020. Get-togethers will start January-February 2022. More information will be posted online here: http://www.pases2020.com Please contact the organizers with questions at: show mail address or on Twitter (@pases2020), or find out more on the official PASES website.
Logistics
The workshop is being organized by PAGES Early-Career Network.
Date: 20-24 November
Venue: Hybrid, onsite venue La Serena Archeological Museum
A virtual meeting took place in November 2020 in preparation for the in-person workshop.
Description
The workshop aims to facilitate scientific exchange between early-career researchers (ECRs) from a broad range of disciplines, that work within the overarching theme of climate-environment-cultural change, which is at the core of both PAGES’ and INQUA’s missions. We welcome innovative ideas and approaches that tackle multiple hypotheses of changes where human, environment and climate interact at different temporal scales and across different geographies.

Dr Yoshi Maezumi - The Max Planck Institute for Geoanthropology
Dr Catalina Gonzalez - Universidad de los Andes (Colombia)

Public event
A public event revolving around the topic "Paleosciences and colonial legacies" will be held. This forum seeks, through discussions between Indigenous communities, local activists, interdisciplinary researchers, and communicators, to address what's behind the overarching message that drives current paleoscience research: "The past as the key to the present, and to the future". A series of discussions will try to answer: "Whose past?", "Whose present?", and "Whose future?".
