ANNOUNCEMENT
***** Dinoflagellate cysts and dinoflagellate biology *****
XI International Palynological Congress
(Granada, 4-9th July 04)
A special session "Dinoflagellate cysts and dinoflagellate biology" is to
be held at the XI International Palynological Congress (XI IPC), Granada,
4-9th July 2004. Dinoflagellate cysts have a long and diverse fossil
record extending back to at least the Triassic and probably much earlier.
Their practical utility in hydrocarbon exploration (especially sequence
stratigraphy) is well established, and they are becoming increasingly
used for environmental monitoring (e.g. harmful algal blooms) and
Quaternary climate reconstructions.
This special session will cover all aspects of the dinoflagellate cyst
record including evolution, phylogeny, taxonomy, biostratigraphy,
ecology, paleoecology, and commercial applications.
Anyone interested in participating in this special session is invited to
submit a provisional title of their presentation. This can be done by
pre-registering online at the XI IPC website: http://www.11ipc.org
(please note that there is no commitment in pre-registering; our special
session has the prefix "g.1" on the online form)
We look forward to seeing you in Granada!
Best wishes,
Martin Head, Edwige Masure & Rob Fensome
