Deliverables Other (4) Public talks Multiple talks. Due Months 10-12, Months 16-19, Months 26-32 Public talks will be delivered to the interested public whenever suitable. Open days/school visits Open Days and school visits in Waikato: annually (dependent on school visit schedule). Science festival/summer school Multiple activities during months 12,15,24,27,36 & 39 Science Festival at Cambridge and Science Summer School (Waikato). The QUEST partners will engage in a number of activities to inform the general public and to interact with school children. Activities include the Cambridge University Science Festival, which provides an opportunity for the general public to meet scientists; the Waikato Science Summer School, an intensive course for Year 13 pupils to carry out scientific projects; the Time Truck, a geological outreach programme for schools in Cambridgeshire; and a number of open days and school visits held at the various institutions. Popular science articles in popular caving magazines will inform the scientific community and interested non-scientists on our work in caves. Time Truck TimeTruck of the University of Cambridge: annually (whenever TimeTruck schedule permits). Documents, reports (6) Conferences/ Workshops The consortium members will attend European and International conferences and workshops during years 2,3 and 4 of the project (in months 28, 30, 36, 40, 42, 44, 48) in order to disseminate the project work and findings. Major targeted conferences include the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, the Goldschmidt Conference, the NetSci flagship conference for Complex Networks, and the Sedgwick Club Conference. The results obtained in QUEST will be communicated via direct interactive discussions, training sessions and presentations. Additionally, we will present our findings in discussion groups and seminars, such as the Quaternary Discussion Group at Cambridge; funds are available at Cambridge to invite external guest speakers for such occasions. Visitors to the PIK Institute will discuss their strategies and analyses at the informal COmplex Network Informal Meetings (CONIM) and in the Paleoclimate Seminar in Mainz. These European activities will be complemented by seminars in New Zealand such as the Quaternary Techniques MSc Course, the Quaternary Techniques short course in Wellington, and the School of Science Seminar Series at Waikato, where technical staff, researchers, PhD and undergraduate students, as well as visitors will have the opportunity to gain insights into our techniques and main findings. Journal publications In months 24, 44 and 48 all partners will publish their findings in internationally peer-reviewed journals with open access option. Project Progress Report Month 36 3rd year progress report for months 25-36. Project progress report Month 12 First annual report on project progress during months 1-12 Publication on sampling/proxies This deliverable summarizes the sampling strategies and proxy development in a publication. Popular science articles Due multiple months: articles planned for months 24,36 and 48 We will provide popular science articles that aim at interesting young people and non-professionals in our research. We aim at journals such as Cave and Karst Studies and other popular journals.
