The scientific program consists of the following topics
    • Palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental evolution in the Neogene of Eastern Eurasia - interactions between climate, biosphere and palaeogeography
    • Variability and seasonality of precipitation, including monsoonal patterns and the aridification of Central Asia
    • Identification of paleoaltitute from the palaeobotanical record
    • Palaeoclimate and vegetation modeling
    • Floristic exchange between Europe and Asia
    • Stratigraphical concepts in Eastern Eurasia

For any questions also, please contact the organisers.


NECLIME symposia at the IPC XIII/ IOPC IX conference, Tokyo, Japan, August, 23-30, 2012

4 Sessions at the IPC/IOPC 2012 are submitted as NECLIME symposia.
    • "Into the Icehouse" - climate and vegetation at the end of the Pliocene (Utescher & Bruch)
    • Quantifying Cenozoic vegetation - new developments in stadardized aproaches (Bruch, Vassio & Eder)
    • Climatically-forced vegetation changes short-termed (Kern & Utescher)
    • Himalaya uplift and climate and vegetation change in East Asia throughout the Cenozoic (Zhou & Momohara)
Amoung all the sessions, there is going to be a special meeting for all NECLIME members at this meeting.
To encourage more students to attent this meeting, there will be a special grant by the IOPC! Planned are special travel awards to support the students (up to 500 USD).

"European" NECLIME meeting 2012 in Sofia, Bugaria

Organised by Dimiter Ivanov, this meeting will be happening as the same time as the worhkshop of the NECLIME working gourps of macro- and microbotanical taxonomy in the first week of October.
Discussion will have a focus on the following topics
  • East meets West - Neogene climate and vegetation evolution from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Eastern and Central Paratethys
  • Aridification trends and large scale cahnges of paleovegetation pattern - evidence from plants and vertebrates
  • Higher resolving reconstructions
  • Evolution and dynamics of lacustrine systems

14th Annual NECLIME meeting 2013 in St.Petersburg

It is intented to hold the Annual meeting 2013 in St.Petersburg (Russia) at the Komarov Botanical Institute.
We are grateful to thank Svetlana Popova and Dmitry Gromyko for this invitation!


NECLIME working group meeting/workshops

Joint meeting of the NECLIME working groups "Taxonomy of the macrobotanical records of Eurasia" 

and the "Taxonomy of Neogene Palynomorphs" - October, 2012

Organised by Dimiter Ivanov and Boglarka Erdei, this meeting is going to take place in Sofia (Bulgaria) in the first week of October 2012. As all other NECLIME meetings in the year 2012 are taking place in Asia, there will be held a "European" NECLIME meeting synchronous to this joint workshop.
