Beta Analytic Joins AFEQ Colloque International Q8

Beta Analytic’s Operations Co-Manager for Europe and Francophone Countries Solene de Brebisson will be joining the Association Française pour l’Etude du Quaternaire (AFEQ) Colloque international Quaternaire n°8 to be held at Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (MSH) in Clermont-Ferrand, France. The three-day event starts February 29, 2012.

“I am looking forward to promote our AMS dating laboratory’s high-quality services to Quaternary researchers in France. We want to reiterate to researchers that we are committed to maintain the confidentiality of their data and results. Client reports are always confidential, and we don’t have any co-publication requirement. We are respected worldwide for accuracy, quality, and customer care,” Ms. de Brebisson says.

The Q8 theme is spatial variability of quaternary environments: constraints, scales, and temporalities (variabilité spatiale des environnements quaternaires contraintes, échelles et temporalités). The conference will feature 79 oral presentations and 31 posters divided in four sessions:

Session 1 – Local to global: variety, complementarity and the spatial and temporal resolution of environmental indicators

Session 2 – Chronology, rates and rhythms of Quaternary environmental fluctuations / interest and specific features of volcanic environments

Session 3 – Specific features of mountain environments with respect to research into the Quaternary period

Session 4 – Tribute to Bernard Valadas, Geoarchaeology: co-evolution of societies and environments, environmental variability and regional strategies

The conference is organized by AFEQ in cooperation with the GEOLAB laboratory (CNRS-UBP UMR 6042) and UMS 3108 of the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme in Clermont-Ferrand.
