Future Meetings

This meeting will consist of two days of oral platform presentations, discussions, and posters. This conference is open to all, and we invite professionals, amateurs and enthusiasts in the field of marine reptiles to attend. The primary focus will be on the fossil record, covering both marine reptiles and other organisms which formed part of their ecosystems, however a session will also take place on modern marine reptiles, and we welcome abstracts from researchers studying all aspects of this field.

This meeting is postponed from September 2020. The 12th congress of the Argentine Paleontological Association (APA) will commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Association, featuring recent advances in the field of palaeontology in Argentina. This meeting aims to promote a favourable environment to exchange knowledge and coordinate joint actions between palaeontologists, museum workers, biologists, related Earth scientists, teachers, students and institutions linked to the areas of education, protection and tourism, strengthening links between palaeontologists and the broader community.

The meeting is open to paleontologist, ornithologist and anyone with a general interest in bird evolution. Birds are excellent models for addressing a wide range of scientific questions, hence we encourage students and professionals of relevant research areas—functional morphology, evo-devo, paleontology, and molecular systematics, among others—to take part in the scientific sessions of the 10th SAPE Meeting. A scientific committee of renowned researchers will review the abstracts to ensure the quality of the scientific sessions.

The International Meeting of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology traces its origins to the EJIP (Encuentro de Jóvenes Investigadores en Paleontología, or Meeting of Young Researchers in Palaeontology), which is held every year in Spain or Portugal. 2016 the XIV EJIP, organised in Alpuente (Valencia, Spain) mainly by palaeontologists from the University of Valencia, was open to foreign researchers, thus creating the 1st IMERP. Since then both meetings have been split, but their aims are still very similar.

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!

The three-day indoor scientific meeting (at ‘Het Pand’, the conference center of Ghent University, from 1-3 July) will cover all aspects of palynology. Dedicated technical sessions will focus on:
- Analytical Palynology: combing geochemical and/or morpho-molecular methods with palynology
- Integrative Cenozoic palynology: enhancing insights in environmental change
- Teratology in palynology: malformed or aberrant palynomorphs through geological time
- CIMP session: Paleozoic palynology

The University of Leeds is hosting a symposium on Climate – Leaf Chemistry Interactions as part of a White Rose Consortium project between the Universities of Leeds, York and Sheffield. The symposium aims to bring together researchers, museum curators and industry to discuss and share ideas on all aspects of leaf chemistry and climate. The symposium will bring together geology, ecology and chemistry to highlight both our current understanding of the topic and important research gaps.
