Second Announcement
and Call for Papers
COCCOLITHOPHORES
-
FROM MOLECULAR
PROCESSES TO GLOBAL IMPACT
A Conference
to be held 10-15 February 2002
at Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland
Conference
Objectives
The
EU-funded Coccolithophorid evolutionary biodiversity and ecology
network - CODENET(1) has, over the past four years, made major
progress in our understanding of this important phytoplankton group
which serves as a prime model for geobiology. At the conference, new
results from within and from outside CODENET will be presented in
talks and posters and their implications to oceanography,
paleoceanography and geobiology will be discussed. Seven themes have
been identified, for which we invite oral and poster contributions.
Keynote speakers from within and outside CODENET will contribute to
each of the themes. Major gaps and new research opportunities will be
identified.
