Posted by in ECR News on

You are invited to the AmQua 50th Anniversary Zoom conference

“holding the torch & turning the corner”    

When: June 15-19, 2020 

10:00am – 12:00pm Pacific Daylight Time (PDT)

 
Dear Quaternary enthusiasts,

We hope you are staying well, and we look forward to your attendance at this online conference event, reorganized to share our mutual excitement in and dedication to Quaternary science in this time of global disruptions. As you know, the in-person AmQua meeting "Quaternary Futures" has been postponed a year. In its place, we have organized an exciting Zoom meeting to help keep us engaged in the interim.

We invite you to join us for daily 2-hour sessions for:
1. a great lineup of speakers who have graciously agreed to present talks in this rapidly restructured online setting. 
2. posters and poster "lightning talks" - we have several submissions and encourage new poster proposals (just submit a poster author/s, title, and abstract to 
[email protected] by the end of the day June 7th).
3. a Publishing Workshop hosted by Quaternary Research and Cambridge University Press (June 16th)
4. opportunities for collegial discussion about all of the above.

The full program (exclusive of posters at present) can be found on the AmQua 2020 Conference Web Site:
