The last session, 'Other related topics' session was full of cool stuff!
Including a discovery😍

Virtual IAL-IPA ECR Meeting 2025 @virtual-ialipa2025.bsky.social · Jun 18

This was the fourth and final part of the paleolimnology session. We heard about Maya megadroughts, cyanobacteria in urban lakes, Colombian maar lakes, and the impact of humans on a protected wetland in India💻📝

Thank you all!!!

The second keynote of the day was about scientific databases, presented by Dr Xavi Benito

Thank you Xavi for explaining the COST Action on open access to paleoecological databases to us✨🙌🏼

During the third part of the Paleolimnology session, we identified significant potential in using fossil pigments. We also learnt about the use of chironomids in reconstructing natural conditions and the progressive eutrophication trend in Lake Victoria

Congrats to all!! 🎉👏🏻

Camila Santoja gave the first keynote of the day. She blew us away with her hard work on how lake sediments can distinguish between tectonic and climatic signals over geological timescales⛰️✨

Thank you Camila!!!

These were the first two paleolimnology presentations of the day. We travelled from northern Saskatchewan to Patagonia🙌🏼

Good job, thank you✨

To end the day, we learnt about temperature reconstruction and nutrient distribution based on GDGTs and diatoms, respectively😍🙌🏼

Virtual IAL-IPA ECR Meeting 2025 @virtual-ialipa2025.bsky.social · Jun 17

These were some of the presentations we saw today. We saw lots of diatoms, multiproxy studies, Cladoceras and PCAs.

Thank you all!✨👏🏻

Dr. Mark Brenner is a truly inspirational figure, as he made clear in today's keynote address💻✨

We also enjoyed seeing all these exotic places he has explored🙌🏼

Thank you very much!!!

We are glad that, despite the situation in Iran at the moment, we were able to watch Maryam's recorded presentation.

Today's first Keynote was delivered by Dr. Elisabeth Dietze and Dr. Ann-Kathrin Volmer. It was fascinating to hear their insights on land use in the Ecuadorian Andes from the perspectives of physical and human geography.✨💻

Thank youu🤗
