INQUA-NL Symposium:
Late Quaternary Climate Change: a Human Perspective
14th April 2009 - 12:30-17:00
One of the activities of INQUA-NL is to organise an annual meeting for workers in the Quaternary, in co-operation with the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) who hosted the venue. In 2009 the topic was: 'Late Quaternary Climate Change: a Human Perspective'. The meeting focused on the link between Archaeology and Quaternary Geology, more specifically addressing the issue: In which ways did humans anticipate on climatic and environmental change during the Late Quaternary?
Attendance was free of charge thanks to our sponsors:
| KNGMG Palynologische Kring | KNGMG Sedimentologische Kring |
| Crevasse Advies | RACM Rijksdienst voor archeologie, cultuurlandschap en monumenten |
| Universiteit van Amsterdam | Universiteit Utrecht | KNAW |
INQUA-NL intents to compile a special issue for the Netherlands Journal of
Geoscience (NJG, see www.njgonline.nl), mainly based on the invited
presentations. Participants willing to contribute to the special
issue with a paper on this topic are invited to contact Wim Hoek.
Venue location: KNAW Trippenhuis in Amsterdam.
Organizing members:
Wim Hoek, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University (UU)
Henry Hooghiemstra, Faculty of Science, University of Amsterdam (UvA)
Jos Deeben, National Service for Archaeology, Cultural Landscape and Built Heritage (RACM)
