The final talk, by Emilie Beaudon (Ohio State), is entitled ‘Paleoenvironmental Value of the Mineral Aerosol Record from the oldest Tibetan ice core’. All talks will be 20 minutes, with questions to follow. Members should have received email invitations to the meeting, which should include the Zoom link.
