3rd Joint Meeting of the Palynology and Silicofossil groups of TMS
March 9-10, 2006 Laboratory of Palaeobotany & Palynology (LPP) Utrecht University, The Netherlands
Co-conveners: Catherine Stickley (Norsk Polarinstitutt), Ian Harding (University of Southampton) and Henk Brinkhuis (Utrecht University)
Hosted by the LPP, The Palaeobotanical Palynological Society Utrecht (PPGU) and TNO-National Geological Survey
Goals: Building on the Joint Meeting at Cardiff University in 2004, the aim of the 3rd mini-symposium is to bring together palynologists and silicofossil workers, from academia and industry, for two days of presentations and discussions. The aim is to demonstrate the mutual benefit of integrating palynological (particularly dinocysts) and siliceous groups (diatoms, radiolarians, silicoflagellates) in palaeoenvironmental and biostratigraphic studies.
Although the meeting will be of most interest to palynologists and silicofossil workers, we welcome participation by any interested micropalaeontologists or palaeoceanographers.
Contributions: We are now accepting offers of oral and poster presentations on any aspect of integrated palynological/siliceous micropalaeontology, novel techniques, and/or palaeoecological applications for one group which may be applicable to the other.
Poster format is preferred to be A0 portrait. Please let us know if your poster is a different format, so we can let you know if we can accept it or not.
Special session: Reconstructing paleoproductivity in lakes and oceans: current developments with key note speakers Barrie Dale (Oslo) and Helen Bennion (UCL, UK)
Registration: online with the registration form
Abstracts: Please submit abstracts (max. 1 side of A4) before February 15, 2006 to Marjolein Mullen. The length of the talks will be 20 minutes; oral presentations will be selected.
Fieldtrip: we are exploring the option to organize a fieldtrip to the Type Maastrichtian on March 11. Interested parties should indicate so, mailing to Marjolein Mullen (address below); some costs will be involved.
The deadline for registration is February 15, 2006. Fees are (Euro symbol) 20,- (seniors) and 5,- (students), to be paid at arrival. Late registration is E 5.- extra. Fees include tea and coffee breaks, lunches, social drinks and an Indonesian buffet.
Accommodation is at the participants’ expense. Participants can arrange their own off-campus housing at a wide variety of hotels from our list. With questions you can contact Marjolein Mullen, m.mullen@bio.uu.nl.
