International Workshop on Methods in Paleoecology
05 – 08 October 2007, Universidad de La Serena, Chile
The goal of this workshop was to impart the basic and fundamental principals of paleoecology along five main major lines of research: high resolution pollen and charcoal records, paleoecology of arid regions using rodent middens, dendroecology and dendrochronology, new techniques in radiocarbon dating, and ancient DNA studies.
The course was geared towards graduate level students with some degree of training in paleoecology.

04 - 07 October 2006; Mendoza, Argentina:
International Symposium: Reconstructing Past Regional Climate Variations in South America over the late Holocene
The objective of the Conference is to gather all the experts in high resolution paleoclimatic records of South America in order to gain, through the presentation of their work, a regional vision of the advancements achieved during the last years, as well as to establish collaboration norms, information management and implementation of future guidelines for the advancement of studies in the field of climatic variability in different regions of South America. As a consequence, the Conference will gather numerous researchers, from Latin American and other countries, interested in studies regarding dendrochronology, palynology, limnology, glaciology, ice cores, and historical documents, which are aimed at the paleoenvironmental reconstruction in different regions of South America. Also the meeting will count with climatologists working in issues related to the present climate of South America, so as to provide dynamic bases on which the environmental records of the past can be interpreted.
