Please distribute. The newly established Luminescence Dating Laboratory at the Instituto Tecnologico e Nuclear (ITN) in Lisbon (Portugal) is offering postdoctoral fellowships (up to 3 years) through the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT). We're seeking two physicists, geologists, geographers, geochemists or archaeologists with experience in luminescence or a related dating method. The development of own research projects in the application of luminescence dating and fundamental research is encouraged, while the involvement in various current projects in dating archaeological and geological sites in Portugal is requested. The laboratory is housed in 3 newly furnished rooms, equipped with one Riso DA-15, beta and alpha irradiation facilities, portable gamma spectrometry and various sample preparation facilities. In addition, Neutron Activation Analysis, Low Level Gamma Spectrometry and Gamma Irradiation facilities are available, amongst others. Please see www.itn.pt for more information on the institute in general and its research facilities, and/or contact richterd@itn.pt. Please send your extended CV (including research interests, project ideas, etc.) to Daniel Richter at the address below. Closing date is march 1st 2002.

A full description of this special session is attached below and can be located at http://agu.org/meetings/wp02Sessions.html We invite abstracts across the spectrum of earth science applications that use, integrate or demonstrate the potential of these geochronological techniques in landscape evolution (denudation, glacial geomorphology, sediment burial, etc ) and also those related to calibration such as in U-Th /14C chronology in corals. Depending on the number of abstracts, we plan to allow for extended presentations and conclude with an open forum discussion on the potential, the benefits and the limitations of integrating these techniques. We hope to secure funding to host one or two invited speakers to set the background for this special session. The deadline for abstract submission is only 3 weeks away ( 15th March) for postal / express mail abstracts and 4 weeks ( Mar 22nd ) for email submission of abstracts (use the Abstract Submission Tool Box on http://www.agu.org/meetings/wp02top.html ) Special Session SE26 WPGM Convenors : Dr. David Fink, Physics Division, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, fink@ansto.gov.au Dr. Roderick Brown, School of Earth Sciences, The University of Melbourne, rwbrown@unimelb.edu.au Dr. Derek Fabel, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, derek.fabel@anu.edu.au Dr. Richard Roberts, School of Geosciences, Univ of Wollongong, rgrob@uow.edu.au **************************************************************************** ********************* Over the past decade the arsenal of tools in the field of isotope geoscience has experienced an unprecedented rise in analytical and technological innovation. Our need to document and measure changes of Earth's surface systems over ever wider spatial and temporal scales has also intensified as we seek a more robust understanding of Earth's recent history. The expansion of applications using in-situ cosmogenic radionuclides 14C, 10Be, 26Al, 36Cl, and the noble gases, 3He and 21Ne, has redefined the level of quantification we can expect - both temporal and spatial - of earth surface process during the Plio-Quaternary epoch. Integration of these new and emerging capabilities with established methods such as OSL, U-Th series, Ar-Ar and 14C dating and fission track and U-Th/He apatite thermochronology, has the potential to revolutionise our ability to address fundamental questions concerning the evolution of the Earth's surface. Papers that emphasise integrated or multi faceted approaches to using in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides to study the Earth's recent history are particularly encouraged, as are studies with a Southern Hemisphere focus. Innovative sample preparation procedures, new applications and production rate calibration studies are also welcome **************************************************************************** ********************** Dr David Fink Principal Research Scientist AMS-ANTARES PHYSICS DIVISION ANSTO, PMB1, Menai, 2234 AUSTRALIA Tel : 61-2-9717-3048 (office) - 3840 (tandem) - 3257 (fax) 61-2-9300-8083 (home) E-mail : FINK@ANSTO.GOV.AU =========================================================================== To unsubscribe from this list, send the command SIGNOFF C14-L to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU, or send a request to C14-L-request@LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU. ========================================================================= Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 09:25:14 +1100 Reply-To: Radiocarbon Mailing List Sender: Radiocarbon Mailing List From: "ZOPPI, Ugo" Subject: new ANSTO AMS web-site MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C1BF14.75E9EB00" This message is in MIME format.
