Venue: Lecture Hall 221, ISESS (Building No. 16), Tianjin University
Speaker: Prof. Yehouda Enzel
Prof. Yehouda Enzel is the chair of Institute of Earth Sciences, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He focuses on climate and tectonic impacts on geomorphology and continental environments, extracting information from lacustrine, slope and soil, and fluvial responses to various impacts. He is awarded by Fellow of the Geological Society of America, Prof. Leo Picard Chair in Geology, Water Resources Research Editors' Choice Award. He was on editorial and advisory board of Quaternary Research, and was associated editor of Geology. He has been invited to give many presentations on important international session, like GSA Annual Meeting and Eastern Mediterranean paleoclimatology.

Venue: Lecture Hall 221, ISESS (Building No. 16), Tianjin University
Speaker: Dr. Adi Torfstein
Dr. Adi Torfstein is a Lamont Assistant Research Professor, Columbia University. He is studying quantitative constraints on fluxes in sedimentary environments with applications in the fields of paleoclimate, paleoceanography, geochemistry and geochronology, and focuses on the development of the U-decay series “Comminution Dating” method. He was awarded by Hebrew University Bentor, Sussman Center for Environmental Sciences, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His papers were published on Quaternary Science Review,Geology, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Climate of the past, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, etc.
The oscillating fringe and paleo-intensity of the East Asian monsoon
Time: 2018. 8.25 (Saturday) 11:25a.m.-12:10p.m.
Venue: Lecture Hall 221, ISESS (Building No. 16), Tianjin University
Speaker: Dr. Yonaton Goldsmith
Dr. Yonaton Goldsmith is from Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University. His primary research focus is on understanding the mechanisms controlling the long-term global hydroclimate and water availability. Specifically, he seeks to quantify the magnitude, timing and spatial distribution of past precipitation and temperature changes with the goal of understanding the mechanisms driving these changes. His publications include PNAS, Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, Journal of Field Archaeology andQuaternary Research.
