The Palynology Group of The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) will have a meeting on Wednesday, the 13th of March in the Palaeontology Demonstration Room at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, London. All interested persons are invited to join the meeting. We will meet at 12:45 pm in the Palaeontology Demonstration room for a guided tour of the palynology facilities of the Department. This includes the outstanding palynological research resource of John Williams's library & reference collection as well as the palynological laboratory, the slide collections, the newest imaging facilities and a demonstration at the confocal laser scanning microscope. From 14:00 to 17:30 there will be a number of short oral presentations and poster exhibition. The contributions cover almost all groups of palynomorphs of the entire Earth History: from climate change in the last 30000 years to the evolution of Cambrian acritarchs. As an invited speaker, Madeline Harley will report about the activities of the palynology unit at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew. After the talks we will have the opportunity to continue discussions while having some wine and cheese. Please find the detailed programme further down in this message. The abstracts of the talks can be found on the TMS web pages http://tmsoc.org If you plan to attend the meeting, please send a short e-mail message to S.Feist-Burkhardt@nhm.ac.uk, this will enable us to make a better estimate of the number of participants. ************************************* Programme: 12:00-12:45 Gathering of participants in the Palaeontology Demonstration Room, Palaeontology Department, NHM 12:45-14:00 Feist-Burkhardt, S., Henderson, A., Williams, J., Chitolie, J. & Jones, C.: Palynology at the NHM - a guided tour showing the Museum's palynology facilities 14:00-14:15 Harley, M.: 30th year of pollen studies at RBG Kew: how do they do it? 14:15-14:30 Marret, F., Scourse,J., Versteegh, G. & Jansen, J.H.F.: Marine palynology in the Tropics: Evidence of abrupt climate changes in the Congo Basin and adjacent ocean during the last 30,000 years 14:30-14:45 Leroy, S. & Marret, F.: Palynological analyses of Late glacial and Holocene sediments from the South and Central Caspian Sea basins, including new dinoflagellate cyst species 14:45-15:00 Pavlishina, P.: Palynostratigraphy of the Turonian sediments in Bulgaria 15:15-15:30 Riding, J.: A comparison of the Jurassic palynomorph record in the Northern and Southern hemispheres and implications for wide scale correlations. 15:30-15:45 Warrington, G.: Palynology of the Late Triassic and earliest Jurassic succession on the Dorset-East Devon Coast World Heritage Site 15:45-16:15 coffee break 16:15-16:30 Bodman, G., McLean, D. & Owens, B.: Palynostratigraphy of the Viséan - Namurian boundary in northern Britain 16:30-16:45 Marshall, J.E.H. & Hemsley, A.R.: A mid Devonian seed-megaspore and its significance in understanding the origin of the seed plants 16:45-17:00 Gelsthorpe, D.: Microplankton changes across a mass extinction: the early Silurian Ireviken Event- An update 17:00-17:15 Mullins, G.L., Aldridge, R.J. & Siveter, D.J.: Acritarch and prasinophyte recurrent assemblages, biofacies and the palaeoenvironmental interpretation of the lower Ludlow Series (Silurian) of the Welsh Basin 17:15-17:30 Potter, T.: Early Cambrian Acritarchs from the Hollybush Sandstone, Malvern Hills, England 17:30- Wine & Cheese -- ************* Dr. Susanne Feist-Burkhardt Palynology Researcher Department of Palaeontology The Natural History Museum Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD, England, UK E-mail: S.Feist-Burkhardt@nhm.ac.uk Tel. ++44 (0)20 7942 5142 Fax ++44 (0)20 7942 5546 http://www.nhm.ac.uk/palaeontology/micro/sfb/sfb.html
