| Summary: | PAST Gateways is an IASC endorsed network research programme, the scientific goal of which is to understand Arctic environmental change during the period preceding instrumental records and across decadal to millennial timescales. The focus of the six year programme is on the nature and significance of Arctic gateways, both spatial and temporal, with an emphasis on the transitions between major Late Cenozoic climate events such as interglacials to full glacials and full glacial to deglacial states, as well as more recent Holocene fluctuations. There are three major themes to the programme: (1) Growth and decay of Arctic Ice Sheets; (2) Arctic sea-ice and ocean changes, and (3) Non-glaciated Arctic environments, which have been expanded for the conference by the topic (4) Holocene Arctic environment. Abstracts of all oral and poster presentation as well as background information to the conference (excursions, conference dinner etc.) can be found in this abstract volume. : conference |
