“The Early-Middle Pleistocene transition: Significance of the Jaramillo subchron in the sedimentary record”
The aim of this interdisciplinary meeting is to bring together specialists from various fields (magnetostratigraphy, palaeoclimatology, cyclostratigraphy, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy, geochronology, archaeology…) in order to provide an updated overview of the Early-Middle Pleistocene transition (~1.2-0.5 Ma), with a special focus on the Jaramillo subchron (1.07-0.99 Ma). Despite its increasing importance in Quaternary studies as a chronological landmark within the second half of the Early Pleistocene, the information available about this subchron remains nevertheless still quite fragmented.
