-----Original Message----- From: David Haig <dhaig@geol.uwa.edu.au> To: paleonet@nhm.ac.uk <paleonet@nhm.ac.uk> Date: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 12:07 å Subject: paleonet FORAMS 2002 Just 4 weeks to go until FORAMS 2002! An outline of the daily program for the Forams 2002 symposium is given at the end of this message. An initial schedule of talks and workshop sessions is available on our FORAMS 2002 web site: http://www.geol.uwa.edu.au/forams Even if you are not coming to the conference, join any of the mailing lists on the Conference List Server (accessed through the "Workshops" page) and have your pre-conference say about the discussion points. These will be circulated at the workshops. The Rottnest and Shark Bay field excursions are full, and bookings on these have closed. There are still spaces available on the Penguin Island - Lake Clifton excursion (mid-Conference field day). Have a happy and safe 2002, and get ready for the fun at Forams 2002!
