Topic I - Advances in limnogeology > I-2-Bridging Traditional and Cutting-Edge Techniques in Paleoclimate and Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction

Conveners

1. Marta Marchegiano (Universidad de Granada, Spain)
2. Ilaria Mazzini (Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering, National Research Council, Italy)
3. Emmanuel Guillerm (GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany)
4. Paula E.Galindo (Institute of Organic Biogeochemistry in Geo-Systems RWTH Aachen University, Germany)

This session delves into both pioneering and established techniques in paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, bringing together experts in geochemistry, sedimentology, paleobiology, and physical modeling. It will spotlight cutting-edge methodologies—such as fluid inclusions, clumped isotopes, biomarker analysis, and AI-driven proxy integration—alongside traditional tools like stable isotope and microfossil analysis. Presentations will highlight methodological breakthroughs, interdisciplinary applications, and case studies from diverse environments across geographical and temporal scales, with an emphasis on high-resolution records of abrupt climatic events and regional reconstructions. By assessing the strengths, limitations, and future directions of these techniques, the session aims to deepen our understanding of past ecosystems and climates, improving forecasts of future environmental changes driven by human activity.
