Six scientific sessions and one workshop have been proposed, addressing an exciting range of current topics in foraminiferal research and reflecting the meeting’s theme, “Foraminifera & the Evolving Earth System”. Abstract submission for the scientific sessions is now possible until March 31, 2024, via the meeting homepage.
Two full days of scientific sessions and keynote lectures will be at the core of the conference on May 22 & May 23.
Session 1: Evolution and ecology of planktonic foraminifera
Session 2: Advances in geochemical proxy research in foraminifera, and integration with taxonomic data
Session 3: Applied Micropaleontology: Big Solutions from Small Fossils
Session 4: Benthic foraminifera in extreme habitats: adaptations and response to changes
Session 5: Modern and fossil benthic foraminifera used as indicators for rapidly changing environments
Session 6: Using foraminiferal monitoring to assess environmental variability
The full-day pre-conference field trip on May 21 will visit the historical Maastrichtian type section at Mount Saint Peter and the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary in the spectacular man-made caves of Geulhemmerberg (Netherlands).
The conference dinner on May 22 will take you to the Cologne brewery house.
