THE PALYNOLOGY AND MICROPALEONTOLOGY OF BOUNDARIES
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. May 26-29, 2002
Palynologists and micropalaeontologists working in all geologic eras are
invited to participate in a Special Session (#22) to be held at the annual
meeting of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC/MAC 2002), Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan, Canada. May 26-29, 2002.
The session is entitled "The Palynology and Micropaleontology of
Boundaries".
Boundaries in time and space can leave distinct signatures in the
palynological record. Diffuse or sharp, gradual or abrupt, boundaries can
tell us much about the response of biotic systems to environmental change
in both marine and terrestrial realms. Sponsored by the Canadian
Association of Palynologists (CAP), this Special Session explores the
identification and characterization of boundaries through palynology and
micropaleontology.
The session is being co-convened by ALWYNNE B. BEAUDOIN (Provincial
Museum of
Alberta, Edmonton, e-mail:abeaudoi@gpu.srv.ualberta.ca) and MARTIN J. HEAD
(University of Cambridge, UK, e-mail: mh300@cam.ac.uk). Anyone
interested in participating is invited to contact either of the convenors.
A symposium volume is planned. Please indicate whether you wish to
contribute to this volume. Papers NOT presented at the symposium may
also be considered for inclusion.
Further details about the GAC/MAC meeting, abstract submission,
registration etc., may be found at the conference web-site at
http://www.usask.ca/geology/sask2002 Abstracts in digital format will be
accepted from November 1, 2001 until January 15, 2002. Please monitor the
conference website for additional information about the meeting.

details of this Special Session will also be posted there.
