Rationale

The symposium will cover a wide area of paleopedological research:

  1. Polygenetic concepts of Quaternary and pre-Quaternary surface paleosols.
  2. Methodological recognition of soils with relic properties: definition, classification and modeling.
  3. Environmental implications of paleopedogenic features for agriculture, forestry etc.
  4. Buried Quaternary and pre-Quaternary paleosols as tools for reconstructing and modelling environmental changes.
  5. (Paleo)pedology and Archaeology. Dating of paleosols.
The Symposium organizers are planning a four-day program consisting of three-days of oral presentations interrupted by a one-day inter-symposium field trip in the vicinity of Suzdal. The morning session of the first day will be combined with the Paleopedology Symposium of Third Congress of Dokuchaev Soil Science Society.
