This meeting is organised under the auspices of the Geological Society, the
Linnean Society, the UCL-Birkbeck-NHM Global Change programme, current IGC
Projects, and the London University SE Asia Research Group. It aims to
explore the links between the biogeographical and geological development of
the SE Asia region. It is intended that the meeting will cross the
disciplines and attract zoologists, botanists, palaeontologists and
geologists who have a knowledge and interest in evolution in, and of, the
region.

********************************************************************************

PRESENTATIONS
The first day will consist of formal presentations, with overview talks on
the geology of the region and possible plate tectonic reconstructions. We
then intend to have a series of talks by biogeographers and palaeontologists
explaining the distribution, variation and development of faunas and floras
of the region. On the second day, we shall break into informal subgroups to
discuss the issues raised on the first day using maps, charts and
computer-based palaeogeographical reconstructions. There will also be poster
presentations with the opportunity for short accompanying oral presentations
as desired.
