Subject: INQUA
Paleoseismology abstract deadline: March 31
Subject: Symposium: "Paleoseismology in the twenty-first
century, a global perspective"
INQUA-Reno-July 2003
Hi all,
We have been reminded that the deadline for submitting abstracts, March 31,
2003, for the INQUA Congress in Reno this July is fast approaching. Also
remember that abstracts will be printed in the abstract volume only if at least
one author is registered for the Congress before March 31st, 2003. Early
registration is past, but you can still register online to avoid late
registration. Also note that the Reno Hilton is holding rooms at the conference
rate of $82.00 US (not bad) no matter how many are in the room.
And we also wanted to promote our Symposium and complementary poster session,
the description is below.
Cheers
Alessandro Michetti & Steve Wesnousky
CALL FOR PAPERS
Within the XVI INQUA Congress, to be held on July 23-30, 2003, in Reno, Nevada,
USA, the INQUA Subcommission on
Paleoseismicity is sponsoring a Symposium (Alessandro M. Michetti and Steve
Wesnousky, Convenors) and complementary Poster Session (Franck Audemard, Shmulik
Marco, Jim McCalpin, Convenors) on "Paleoseismology in the twenty-first century,
a global perspective". The location of the Congress is meaningful for an
earthquake geologist, and for the global perspective of this Symposium. The
Basin and Range Province is one of the "cradles" of paleoseismology. This
Symposium is therefore intended to review the state-of-art and the future
directions in Paleoseismology, starting from an overview and celebration of the
pioneering contribution of two "fathers" of modern Paleoseismology, very active
in the study of the Basin and Range (paleo)earthquakes: Bob Wallace and Burt
Slemmons; something like "from tradition to the new millennium...." In this
line, the Symposium emphasis is on the research fields and concepts that are
most innovative for the understanding of role played by earthquakes in the
landscape evolution of a region. The comparison among different Quaternary
geology, climatic and tectonic environments, guaranteed by the widely
international and cross-disciplinary participation at the INQUA Congress, will
illustrate the resolution that paleoseismological analyses have attained in
detecting the signal of the seismicity in the local topography and stratigraphy.
Therefore, we very much welcome the submission of abstracts dealing with A) the
understanding of past earthquakes through the study of Quaternary geology, and
B) the use of earthquake ground effects and paleoseismic data forseismic hazard
assessment, in particular from the point of view of the design criteria for
critical facilities.
Further details on abstract submission and registration can be found at the
conference website:
http://inqua2003.dri.edu/ We hope you will consider contributing, and
we look forward to meeting you in Reno.

Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park has a funded position for this summer, open to both current students and degree holders. ___________________________________________________________
Subject: Please distribute: Opportunity in Alaska --- glaciers, geohazards, coastal
Opportunity* in Alaska --- glaciers, geohazards, coastal
Project: geohazards reconnaissance and report of the 188 square mile Taiya River watershed, a glacial, proglacial and coastal environment
Where: Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (southeast Alaska - very remote area), National Park Service
When: 10-12 consecutive weeks, but must be within June - September time frame, starting and ending dates are negotiable at time of selection
Support: Park will provide support of up to $2500 for up to 12 weeks. Park will also fund/provide housing and transportation up to an amount set by the park as reasonable expenses.
Deadline: CVs or resumes must be postmarked by March 24th and must be received within 10 calendar days of that date. Selection will be made by April 30th.
Location:
KLGO lies at the northernmost point of the Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska and contains the Chilkoot Trail that was used during the Gold Rush of 1897-1898. . Park Headquarters are located in the town of Skagway, Alaska (population 830). Skagway is accessible by small plane or ferry from Juneau, Alaska or by car via the Klondike Highway from the town Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The park website can be viewed at: http://www.nps.gov/klgo/. Park Geology: The underlying bedrock is primarily a uniform granodiorite. The Denali fault lies approximately 40 km from the site. The surficial geology includes primarily glacial outwash, moraine, and nearshore intertidal deposits of sand and gravel. The landscape is composed of steep glaciated valleys up to one mile deep that are connected to adjacent fjords. Position Title: Researcher: geological hazards assessment Position Description: Conduct a geological hazards assessment in a glacial, proglacial and coastal environment. The position is for three months to conduct a reconnaissance field assessment of the 188 square mile Taiya River watershed. The primary known geohazard is glacial lake outburst flooding, which has occurred at least three times during the past 125 years in the watershed. On July 23, 2002, 10 million cubic yards of moraine liquefied into a proglacial lake in a tributary of the Taiya River, which caused an enormous flood to sweep through park lands, endangering human life and damaging cultural and natural resources and park infrastructure. In 1897 at least three Klondike Gold "Rushers" died during a glacial lake outburst flood in the headwaters of the mainstem Taiya River. In about 1875-1880 a cataclysmic glacial lake outburst flood swept through the Taiya River valley, completely denuding much of the one-kilometer wide valley bottom. The selected individual will: 1) review and map the sources, mechanisms and affected areas of known outburst events; 2) map other source and affected areas from all potential lake outburst floods in the watershed; 3) identify and map other identifiable geohazards in the watershed and the areas that could be affected by those geohazards; and 4) determine the probability of a given type of geohazard occurring in the watershed and on KLGO lands. Work will be done in consultation and under the supervision of the park and the National Park Service's Geologic Resources Division. Supervisor may spend up to 2 weeks with individual selected for this position. The use of such work toward a masters or PhD. may be a possibility. Note: Some literature research is required prior to traveling to the park and is included in the time frame allotted.
Qualifications: Student or degree at master's or PhD. level --- in glaciology, geomorphology, or field related to assessing geological hazards in a glacial, proglacial and coastal environment. GIS and GPS knowledge and skills required. Ability to communicate orally and in writing. Ability to work well with others.

Atlantic Seaboard Climatic Responses Including Bounding Errors: Norwegian and Scottish Stalagmite Records
The RAPID ASCRIBE project is to combine modelling and speleothem-led palaeoclimatic approaches along a N-S transect on the Atlantic seaboard of western Europe as quantitative tests of genetic models of Holocene climatic change. This proposed studentship focuses on the northern part of the transect and the collection of speleothem data collection, and will provide inter-disciplinary training for a postgraduate scientist in collaboration with ASCRIBE co-investigators (Fairchild (Keele), Mattey (London), Atkinson (UEA), Hawkesworth (Bristol) and collaborators (Lauritzen, Bergen). Stalagmites from two sites, Uamh and Tartair in Scotland and Rana cave region in Northern Norway are in the supervisors' possession. Many have been precisely dated in absolute and relative terms by TIMS U-series and layer counting techniques, and dripwaters in the caves in the region collected to "ground truth" climate records contained in the stalagmites. The two sites are in climate regions where there are strong correlations between the instrumental record and the strength of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation. A key focus will be oxygen isotopes (on both CaCO3 (with Mattey) and trapped H2O in fluid inclusions (with Atkinson)) in stalagmites from the two sites, which coupled with calculations on source areas of precipitation and the predicted isotopic composition of waters will provides tests for GCM's and derive robust palaeotemperatures (this work to be performed elsewhere in ASCRIBE. A second focus will be the reconstruction of climate variability using growth rate data derived from the laminae records. Error estimates will be made by:
Stalagmites from the two cave regions will focus on the last two millennia and the 8.2 ka event. The latter is the most likely example of a stalled THC in our current (Holocene) climate regime, but its impact needs more careful documentation. The last two millennia contain the so-called Little Ice Age, LIA, but its causes remain controversial. The relatively long duration of the LIA allows us to demonstrate the robustness of each of our parameters on different timescales. The objective of the studentship is to create duplicated, high-resolution multi-proxy Holocene speleothem records from the two sites. The focus will be, where possible, on annually laminated stalagmites (already available) that will provide the optimal chronological control. Data will include duplicated speleothems at each study site of the following:
From these data, palaeoclimate estimates will be derived by calibration of stalagmite palaeoclimate proxies against (1) instrumental and (2) historical records (in collaboration with Belcher), and the determination of palaeoclimate parameters (mean annual temperature, effective precipitation, delta-18O of precipitation) in studied intervals, with error sensitivity analysis (utilizing results of the modelling study). Research Training will be provided primarily by the supervisor, in collaboration with ASCRIBE co-investigators and collaborators, in particularly Lauritzen in Norway who is expert on the Norwegian sites. The project team includes existing collaborators and offers excellent opportunities for RS training. Baker (Newcastle) will provide training on UV fluorescence and growth rate studies of speleothems in relation to climatological variables and used growth rate variations to reconstruct winter NAO variation at our Scottish site and collaborated with Lauritzen (Bergen) and co-workers at the Norway sites for over 3 years. Hawkesworth (Bristol) oversees a state-of-the-art geochemical facility and will provide training for any additional U-series dating and any necessary ICP-MS work. Mattey (RHBNC) has developed the continuous-flow laser ablation technique for delta-18O and will supervise this technique which requires extensive technical support. Rowe and Atkinson (UEA) have developed the difficult process of speleothem water extraction and will provide training here, and Fairchild (Keele) has led recent developments in the linkage between palaeoclimate signals and compositions of cave waters and speleothems, including field, experimental and analytical studies and will advise on these aspects. This application provides the duplicated, high-resolution multi-proxy Holocene speleothem records from the northern sites of the N-S traverse along the Atlantic seaboard, and derived palaeoclimate estimates; major components of objectives one and three of the ASCRIBE application. Objective two, to use a back-trajectory methodology to model the relationship between isotopic composition of precipitation and atmospheric circulation, is the focus of a separate RS1A application. End user outputs will be the well-calibrated and time-resolved palaeo data records of past climate change, including error estimates, which can be used for the quantitative testing of general circulation models' abilities to reproduce climate variability and rapid changes on annual to centennial time-scales, and to explore the extent to which these data can provide direct information about the THC and other possible rapid changes in the climate system and their impact.

Pliocene to Holocene Lakes in the Western Great Basin, USA: New Perspectives on Paleoclimate, Landscape Dynamics, Tectonics, and Paleodistribution of Aquatic Species
This field trip will focus on long-standing and recently developed information on large lakes that existed in the western Great Basin from the late Pliocene to the Holocene. Dramatic advances have been made in our understanding of the chronology of highstands, timing of drainage integration, distribution of aquatic organisms, effects of river diversion on lake-basin behavior, controls on and effects of isostatic rebound, and timing of minor fluctuations in lake level during the last lake cycle. We will focus on key outcrops and geomorphic features that contain stratigraphic and chronologic evidence for lake fluctuations and drainage changes, with particular emphasis on tephrochronology, paleomagnetic data, paleosols, and tectonics. The itinerary includes visits to the following areas and lake basins:
Additional attractions include Mono Lake, spectacular scenery of the eastern Sierra Nevada and White Mountains, Nevada mining towns both old and new, hot springs, and the Pony Express and Emigrant Trails.

Montclair State University is pleased to announce a new Doctor of Environmental Management (D.Env.M.), now accepting applications for enrollment in Fall 2003! This is the only Doctor of Environmental Management in the greater New York metro region, and one of only a few in the United States. The degree, based in the Dept. of Earth and Environmental Studies, is fully interdisciplinary, involving over 8 departments. The program is research based, requiring a dissertation. We will admit both post-bachelor's and post-master's degree students, and will offer several graduate assistantships ($15,000 U.S. stipend plus tuition waiver). While not directed at geomorphologists per se, the D.Env.M. program has many aspects that would be of interest to those doing research in geomorphology and allied disciplines. Three foci characterize the program: Water-Land Systems, Sustainability/Vulnerability/Equity, and Modeling/Visualization. Specifically to readers of this list-serve, our strengths and expertise in the program may interest those in coastal and marine management, global environmental change, geohydrology, geoarchaeology, and sediment pollution (among many other topics farther afield).

RA: alluvial fan quantification - Univ. of Memphis
A Ph.D. Research Assistantship (RA) is available beginning in the Summer 2003, continuing through the end of Summer 2006. The RA includes tuition, stipend (Summer and Academic Year), and travel money. The research consists of quantifying 2.5D and 3D form of alluvial fans. Candidates with a strong background in GIS and Geomorphology are asked to apply. GIS will be the main medium for analyzing and visualizing data gathered from a combination of the following techniques: (1) Airborne Laser Swath Mapping (ALSM); (2) GPS-RTK Surveying; (3) Ground Penetrating Radar; and (4) Soft-Copy Photogrammetry. The candidate will be expected to take a lead role in research centering on land form quantification (geomorphometry). The project is funded through the National Science Foundation CAREER Development Grant. Much of the research will be conducted in the western United States and Japan. Applicants possess proven working knowledge of raster and/or TIN analyses in GIS (ArcGIS 8.x). A strong spatial statistical background is not essential, but would be highly desirable. Experience with any of the techniques from the above (1 to 4) would be looked on favorably in the decision process, but not essential. The research will require rigorous fieldwork and supervision of undergraduate students in the field and lab. The candidate would also be expected to assist in the development of curriculum for upper-division undergraduate as well as graduate-level courses. Individuals interested in applying should send a brief letter of interest explaining experience and what you hope to gain from this experience, a short vita (2 pages max), and the names, numbers, and addresses of two referees to the following address, e-mail, or fax: Thad Wasklewicz, Dept. of Earth Sciences - Geography Program, University of Memphis, Memphis, TN 38152. e-mail: twsklwcz@memphis.edu , office: 901.678.4452, fax: 901.678.4467.

CALL FOR PAPERS: GEOMORPHOLOGY AND LAND DEGRADATION; Mexico City
The International Geographical Union (IGU) Commission on Land Degradation and Desertification (COMLAND) is sponsoring sessions entitled "Geomorphology and Land Degradation" at the International Association for Geomorphologists (IAG) and Mexican Society of Geomorphology (SMG) conference in Mexico City, October 27th to November 2nd 2003. Understanding and interpreting land degradation requires knowledge of explicit process - response thresholds, landscape sensitivity, and time scales for adjustment. These sessions seek papers related to the geomorphic impact of land degradation under varying physical settings and controls (e.g. fluvial, hillslope, aeolian, coastal, etc...). Session organizers will pursue publication of papers in a reputable journal outlet. Papers are welcome from a range of disciplines and specialties that occur within the following broad categories:
· Case studies and applied (soil erosion and landscape response to
engineering and land use change; environmental history; the role of
geomorphology in land management)
· Methodological (development of criteria for defining land degradation; field
and analytical techniques for studying land degradation)
· Theoretical (predicting and modeling land degradation to environmental
modification; systems response, including establishing residence times for
perturbations, range of morphologic adjustment; distinguishing land degradation
from "natural" environmental change)
Session organizers:
Paul F. Hudson (Department of Geography, University of Texas at Austin) and
