Details below of the forthcoming TMS Foraminifera Group Spring Meeting, 2003. Details are also posted on the website http://www.tmsoc.org Abstracts will be available for downloading shortly. Regards, Andy Henderson -------------------------------------- TMS Foraminifera Group Spring Meeting, 2003. GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences, Kiel, Germany. Sponsored by TMS and ChevronTexaco Friday 25th April - Presentations Saturday 26th April - Fieldtrips. Friday 25th. Presentations. GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences Technical notes for contributors: Two slide projectors with carousel magazines are available. We also have one central overhead projector. The projection window where the transparencies have to be placed is slightly tilted. To avoid that they accidentally slide down during the talk, we recommend to use strong, firm ink jet transparencies. However, we highly recommend to use MS PowerPoint for the presentations. There is a strong beamer and PC where PowerPoint 2000 is installed, but documents created by earlier PP versions are also displayed. They can be read from CD or USB sticks. The Apple Macintosh users should test at home whether their documents are ordinarily displayed by a PC!! There is also a siding plug for personal Laptops for those who wish to use their own computers. The poster boards are 114 cm wide and 144 cm high. The frame is white and the background colour is dark blue. Fixing material (pins) will be provided. Venues: The oral presentations will be given in the main lecture hall, Building 8, blocks A and B. The poster session and coffee breaks will be held in the lobby, just in front of the lecture hall (http://www.geomar.de/gm_allg_e/virt_tour/). Building 8 is the easternmost block of Kiel's Fishmarket and may be accessed via the streets "Schönberger Strasse" and "Am Seefischmakt", from where is a drive-up just to the left of the yellow hotel.
