Poster session
Stratigraphy is the foundation of our understanding of Earth's history. Timing is crucial for unraveling causal relationships between major climatic events, as well as understanding the underlying processes and estimating recovery time. While various techniques that can date such perturbations to within 10,000 years of their occurrences have been developed and improved over the last few decades, it is still difficult to establish accurate and consistent age models across the world’s many regions. These inaccuracies hinder scientists' ability to fully understand our home planet's history.
In this session, we welcome contributions related to the recently launched Time-Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences (TIMES) initiative. TIMES is an ambitious international community effort that, over the next ten years, aims to recalibrate global climate records from the last 100 million years on a unified, accurate, and precise timeline. The session intends to bring together the diverse community of geochronologists, astrochronologists, paleontologists, stratigraphers and paleoclimatologists. The session will focus on presenting state-of-the-art approaches and current challenges, aligned with the upcoming PAGES Special Issue: “The Time-Integrated Matrix for Earth Sciences”. We also encourage submissions related to the development of academic teaching tools, user applications and public databases that will strengthen the TIMES community. Note that this will be organized as a poster-only session in order to foster effective on-site discussions and knowledge exchange amongst participants.
