the central part of forest-steppe zone of Russian Plain (Seim river basin,
500 km to the south from Moscow) in August 20-28, 2000.
The Meeting is open to scientists with interest in environmental changes and
palaeohydrology in the last 20,000 years.
The official language of the Meeting is English.
Objective
The main objective of this Meeting is to provide a forum for presentations
and discussions on recent developments in Palaeohydrology research on
global, regional and local scales of different natural zones of the World
with emphasis on hydrological consequences of global climate changes in
geological and historical periods as analogs of future conditions.
Themes
The general themes of the Meeting are:
* main features of global climate changes and environmental changes during
last 20,000 years
* global, continental and regional hydrological response to global climate
changes
* palaeohydrological changes in temperate zone
* palaeohydrological changes in glacial and periglacial regions
* palaeohydrology of the late Pleistocene drainage system of northern Asia
* palaeohydrological changes in arid and semi-arid regions
* flood reconstruction based on natural proxy and historic data;
* hydrogeomorphological response to climate change in relation to human
activity
