Pampean Lakes

Eduardo Piovano is a professor of Global Change and the Earth System at the University of Córdoba and a researcher at CONICET, Argentina. His research interests involve the study of the sedimentary record of shallow/saline lakes and reservoirs to reconstruct past environmental variability (from LGM to the Anthropocene) as well as to provide tools for water management. He is interested in the study of physical proxies to perform high resolution stratigraphic analyses in paleolimnological records. He has served as the vice president of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS). Silvina Stutz is a professor and a researcher at the University of Mar del Plata and CONICET, Argentina. Her main areas of interest are Quaternary palynology and paleolimnology.  In particular, she works in shallow lakes in the Pampa plain of Argentina analyzing multiple paleoenvironmental indicators such as pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs and plant fossil macro remains from sedimentary records of Late Pleistocene and Holocene age.   Juan A. Morales is a distinguished professor of Sedimentology at the University of Huelva, Spain. He was during 20 years the head of the Research Group of Applied Geosciences in this University. He has made several contributions on sedimentology of actual environments. Lastly, he published two books with Springer (The Spanish coastal Systems and Coastal Geology). He is presently the president of the Geological Society of Spain.  Daniel Ariztegui is an emeritus professor of limnogeology and geomicrobiology at the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Geneva, Switzerland . The foci of his research are the impact of living microbes in lake and marine sediments and its imprint in the sedimentary record. He has served as the vice president and the president of the International Association of Limnogeology (IAL) and is currently the president of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS).
