Eleven participants from Quebec City, Rimouski and Montreal met in Quebec City for the first PASADO Quebec workshop. PhD students and postdocs showed their first results and introduced their upcoming projects including volcanology, magnetostratigraphy, densitometry, microstratigraphy, radiogenic isotopes as well as diatom and chironomid analyses. The new PASADO Canada website (http://can-pasado.ete.inrs.ca/) was introduced and the workshop was also used to facilitate the excellent communication among the four working groups from Quebec.
