We cordially invite you to participate in the international Galileo Meeting of the European Geosciences Union on "Mass extinctions, recovery and resilience" at Utrecht University. This will be one of the first major meetings bringing together representatives of the diverse geoscience disciplines with a focus on biotic crises since the final "Snowbird" meeting in 2000. Join us in the beautiful, medieval city of Utrecht in the heart of the Netherlands for four days of extinction-themed research, conversation, and debate!
