We kindly invite to participate in the 1st SaltAges Conference in Cracow - the first in-person meeting of the COST Action SaltAges, an open network of researchers and innovators from Europe and beyond, with the objectives to:
- assess the consequences of salt giant formation on biota, biogeochemical cycles, global and regional climate and ocean circulation;
- investigate the interaction between salt giants, climate and plate tectonics;
- clarify the relationship between local and regional tectonics and marine gateway restriction;
- review the role of evaporites in the evolution of human civilization; and
- identify the importance, environmental effects and geohazards associated with their exploitation.
