Documents

During the preparation of the conference three sorts of documents are provided by the participants:

• Abstracts of the contributions
• Background papers
• Commented Hypothesis papers

These documents are used to optimize overall information and to support the conception of the workshop structures. The background papers are published at the Encyclopedia of Earth to include a broader readership. They will be utilized to derive focal workshop questions on the base of the recent literature. Commented hypotheses are submitted to show interesting fields of problems as guidelines for the workshop discussions.
