Future Meetings

The RIV3P meeting (Rencontre Internationale sur la Valorisation et la Préservation du Patrimoine Paléontologique) takes place takes every two years, hosted by a Moroccan university. Chouaib Doukkali University will host this 8th edition, previously scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic, and international researchers are welcomed.

This year's meeting is being held to celebrate the contributions made to the field of palaeobotany by Professor Barry Thomas. For well over 50 years, Barry has been one of Britain’s leading palaeobotanists, and has published numerous books and over 100 papers on the subject (this is not counting his many books and papers on living plants and geoconservation). His main specialism is the Palaeozoic lycopsids, especially their taxonomy, floristics and taphonomy, and he was a pioneer in the use of cuticles to study these fossils.

PaleoPT is a meeting of people who share a passion for Paleontology. Two days to exchange ideas, knowledge and curiosities about Portuguese Paleontology, it is an event in which we can become immersed in this science and future partnerships can be created.

Early in May 2004, some 25 scholars of mosasaurid reptiles assembled for the first edition of what was then referred to as the ‘Mosasaur Meeting’ at the Natural History Museum of Maastricht. An aptly chosen venue – after all, the first fossils of ‘Meuse lizards’ were unearthed here in the latter half of the eighteenth century. The 2004 meeting was the first in a series of triennial workshops, in Europe and North America, for which it was later decided to include also talks on non-mosasaurid marine amniotes of Mesozoic age.

In the summer of 1849, Professor André Hubert Dumont of Liège (Belgium) first used the phrase ‘système maestrichtien’, while doing geological mapping in the Belgium/Netherlands border area near Maastricht. In the three decades that followed a wealth of stratigraphical and palaeontological data were published. In fact, the same may be said about recent progress in these fields. New information on the type Maastrichtian, including a chemostratigraphical analysis, clearly shows that interest in this latest Cretaceous time slice is still very much alive and kicking.

Palaeoverse is pleased to announce the first edition of the 'Palaeoverse Workshop and Hackathon'. The event will take place on the 7th and 8th of September 2023 at University College London, UK. The workshop component of this event will introduce databases (e.g. the Paleobiology Database), building workflows in R (e.g. data cleaning), developing functions, and the versatility R has to offer.

This conference will bring together ecologists, palaeontologists, Earth system scientists, and biogeographers who are interested in fundamental drivers, as well as applications of (palaeo)ecological patterns in understanding past and present, as well as preserving biological diversity, and ecosystem functions for the future.

The meeting will be three days long, without parallel sessions. The last day of the conference will be dedicated to a field trip.
