A virtual workshop (vPASES2020) for early-career researchers will be held from 9-11 November 2020 in preparation for the in-person "Past Socio-Environmental Systems (PASES2022)" workshop in 2022.
Each day will consist of at least a two-hour session (longer on day three), from 11:00-13:00 UTC. Find your timezone here.
This workshop is organized by PAGES Early-Career Network and INQUA ECR.
Description
This workshop will plant the seed for the postponed in-person PASES workshop in Chile. Both events are connected, and aimed at overcoming the lack of training and network opportunities due to COVID-19.
ECRs will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and foster collaborations in the interdisciplinary topic of human-climate-environment interactions in the past.
Program
There will be 14 oral presentations (10 mins) and two invited keynote speakers (30 mins).
Keynote talks by Cesar Mendez and Yoshi Maezumi will open the first two days, followed by 10-min talks by ECRs. The third day will consist of a roundtable discussion with invited senior researchers (panelists TBA) and breakout group activities.
