PS Short Course:  Paleobiology of the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Transition

        8 a.m.-5 p.m., Colorado Convention Center, room 103/105

 

This free short course is designed to update paleontologists on current research on the evolution of the late Proterozoic and Cambrian biosphere. Research in this area routinely crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries: the course will cover topics such as stromatolites and microbialites, Precambrian eukaryotes, the Ediacara biota, isotope stratigraphy, genetics and developmental biology of metazoans, biogeography of the Cambrian radiation, the skeletonization of the Cambrian biota, and the Cambrian history of reefs.  It is intended as a review for college and university instructors and interested geoscientists.

 

The course is organized by Jere H. Lipps (University of California, Berkeley) and includes 10 speakers. No fee.  A Short Course book will be available for purchase.
