Report of GLOMAR PhD student Lennart van Maldegem about his participation in the AGU 2015 Fall Meeting in San Francisco, California, USA from 14 – 18 December 2015
With the support of GLOMAR I was able to attend the 2015 AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco, USA. The AGU Fall Meeting is single largest geoscience conference in the world bringing together over 24000 geoscientists from all over the world. I was invited by the chair of the session “Recent advances in lake studies: lacustrine materials as archives of regional climate variability and associated environmental response I” to provide an oral presentation about the paleo-environmental reconstruction of the 40 ka stromatolite from the ancient Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA (AGU abstract). This research project originated during the 2015 International Geobiology summer school (Geobiology summer course report). By using clumped isotopes (Δ47) we investigated how stromatolites formed in a late Pleistocene lake recorded changes in temperature as well as lake level during the Marine Isotope Stage 3. Although I provided the presentation this project was a highly collaborative group effort.
Attending AGU gave me the opportunity to meet many leading scientists in my field of research while also putting me in a position to listen to novel ideas in sessions towards the development of the early Earth and the evolution of life.
Overall, participating at the AGU was an amazing experience, I was able to present my research and deepen as well as establish new relationships with fellow scientists from around the world. I would like to thank GLOMAR for supporting my participation at AGU 2015.
