Útdráttur:

The Nordic Palaeo Alliance (NORPALL) is a collaborative group of early career Earth science researchers with the shared ambition of improving age constraints on glacier landforms, sediments and climate archives within the Nordics. The Nordic Lands are linked through a shared Quaternary history; however, each region hosts its own unique glacial history and climate archives. Understanding the rates and style of past deglaciation is critical for projecting future change. Palaeo-investigations which provide quantitative / geochronological constraints are increasingly important given today´s (anthropogenic driven) changing climate directly effecting cryosphere and global sea level. NORPALL fosters the development of new geochronological approaches for reconstructing the past to constrain projections of the future. The primary goals of NORPALL are to i) establish and unite a community of like-minded early career researchers who will ii) target outstanding research questions facing Nordic Quaternary Science and ultimately, iii) promote and advance Quaternary research focusing on chronological tools within the Nordic countries by training future scientists. The NORPALL network is comprised of a steering committee of eight early career researchers (PhD.) from Iceland, Denmark and Sweden. This NORPALL team leads the organization of all field schools, meetings and social events. These NORPALL gatherings will be directed towards early career Quaternary researchers and graduate students from (or working in) the Nordic region. NORPALL is additionally composed of a select group of NORPALL mentors – senior researchers from (or working in) the Nordic region. NORPALL has been granted its first three years of funding by NordForsk.
