Future Meetings

The symposium will be held at the Paleospace-l'Odyssee, Museum of Palaeontology and the cinema, both located in the centre of Villers-sur-Mer. Poster and oral presentations will be followed by field-trips to the Callovian-Oxfordian cliffs of the "Vaches Noirs", Bajocian stratotype and Bathonian Confessionnaux; parts of the Normandy landings locations, a trip to the Cenomanian hard-grounds of Petreval, and the Etretat cliffs which attracted Courbet and Monet. English and French will be the official languages of the conference. Talks will be 30 minutes long including discussion.

Ichnia 2016 is jointly organised by the International Ichnological Association, the Geopark Naturtejo da Meseta Meridional, UNESCO Global Geopark, and the National Museum of Natural History and Science of the University of Lisbon. This congress, under the general theme ?Ichnology for the 21st century: (Palaeo)Biological Traces towards Sustainable Development? will include discussion on traces (fossils) as biological behavior patterns preserved in sediments and rocks. Pre-, intra- and post-congress field-trips are proposed to ichnosites throughout the Iberian Peninsula.

Registration is now open for this Conference on the scientific study of non-marine arthropods and amber. The Conference is usually held every three years and this is the first time that it will be held in the UK. It comprises a Reception at the Royal Society of Edinburgh, three days of lectures at the National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh) and two optional days of field-work to Palaeozoic non-marine arthropod sites.

For more information about the meeting and how to register please e-mail Dr Andrew Ross.

The IBA Conference is a multidisciplinary meeting that includes morphology, phylogeny, geochemistry, taxonomy, palaeontology, ecology and genetics of the Phylum Bryozoa. Keynote speakers will be Prof Tim Flannery 'Australia: an Introduction for Scientists', and Dr Michele Prinsep, 'Current State of Bioprospecting among Bryozoans'. There will be a Pre-Conference Excursion (Tasmania) and a Post-Conference Excursion (Great Ocean Road to Adelaide), which will include a lot of geological and fossil sites.
