This LOTRED-SA meeting is a continuation of previous exciting symposia held in Argentina (2006) and Chile (2010), which provided a wealth of data, and climate reconstructions, mostly on southern South America.
This time the symposium moves to tropical America emphasizing the importance of the region in global climate dynamics from annual to millennial time scales. The meeting is expected to attract researchers and students from the Caribbean, and Central and South America, thus providing a venue of discussion and a synoptic picture of climate dynamics in the neotropics, including previous and new findings from the extratropics and the adjacent oceanic regions.
As in previous meetings, this symposium will include 2.5 days conference, 1-day field trip, and 2 days of Training Course/Workshop for young scientists.
