It will supplement and perhaps refine the calibration curve presented there, derived primarily from tree-ring and coral data, with comparisons based on other chronologies such as varved sediments, ice cores and speleothems.

A beta test of CALIB 4.0 may also be downloaded from this site. If you do decide to try the beta test, please let us know if you experience any difficulties with the program.

Pre and post congress field excursions are planned. The U.S. National Committee, under the sponsorship of AGU, and with the cooperation of the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA), seeks to ensure appropriate U.S. representation by providing travel grants to enable Quaternary scientists residing in the United States (regardless of citizenship) to participate in the activities of the congress. Travel grants, which will cover only a portion of a participant's expenses (mainly airfare), are to be awarded competitively, in part on the evaluation of papers submitted for presentation at the congress. The Awards Subcommittee also plans special consideration for those judged to benefit most by participation at this important international event. Deadline. The completed application, including the abstract of your paper and a one- page curriculum vitae, must be received or postmarked by January 31, 1999. Stipulated Requirements. Grantees will be required to use U.S. flag carrier to the extent possible and to file a meaningful trip report (emphasizing the benefits of attendance) within 60 days of the end of the congress. Grant Announcements. The committee aims to announce the travel awards by early spring of 1999. However, some awards may be made later because of cancellations or delays in availability of funding Travel grant applications and detailed instructions are available from: Scott Spaulding USNC/INQUA National Academy of Sciences, Rm 241 2101 Constitution Ave NW Washington DC 20418 (for application by phone call 202/334-2233)
