3 Earth System Science and Reconstruction

Donnerstag, 09:00-11:00, H 36

Stable isotopes provide a powerful tool for investigating Earth system science, climate change, and reconstruction. Isotopic signals are present in various natural archives, such as ice, sediment, and tree rings, and can be used to reconstruct past environmental conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric composition. Furthermore, stable isotopes can be used to study modern climate and environmental processes, such as the water cycle and carbon cycle.

This session welcomes contributions on the latest developments in stable isotope applications to Earth system science, including novel uses of isotopes in paleoclimate reconstruction, improvements in isotope proxy calibrations, and the use of clumped isotopes to investigate past climate change. We also welcome presentations on the use of isotopes in hydrological research, including the study of water resources and the water cycle in natural and engineered systems.
