| − | == ANNOUNCEMENT ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | In about two years, the next International Symposium on Foraminifera,
| |
| − | FORAMS 2010 will be held in the city of Bonn, Germany. The meeting is a
| |
| − | follow-up to the very successful meetings previously held in Halifax
| |
| − | (Benthos'75), Pau (Benthos'81), Geneva (Benthos'86), Sendai
| |
| − | (Benthos'90), Berkeley (Forams'94), Monterrey (Forams'98), Perth (Forams
| |
| − | 2002), and Natal (FORAMS 2006).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Presentations on any aspect of foraminiferal biology, paleontology,
| |
| − | biostratigraphy, systematics, biogeography, ecology and paleoecology,
| |
| − | oceanography and paleoceanography, molecular evolution, climatology and
| |
| − | paleoclimatology, and macro/micro evolutionary studies are welcome.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you wish to participate in FORAMS 2010 and present a paper or if you
| |
| − | need more information and want to receive future updates, please use our
| |
| − | *Pre-registration Form* on the Website to pre-register for the
| |
| − | International Symposium on Foraminifera, FORAMS 2010. While
| |
| − | pre-registration is not required, it will help meeting organizers
| |
| − | anticipate attendance. Pre-registration will also assure that you're
| |
| − | kept up-to-date about logistical details as more information becomes
| |
| − | available. It will help us in planning better the symposium. Please
| |
| − | visit the main website periodically for any further information about
| |
| − | FORAMS 2010.

| − | *Important dates to Remember:*
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Deadline for abstracts: *
| |
| − | April 30, 2010 (submissions will be open online early on 2009)

| − | *Main components of Symposium*
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Oral Presentations:* We propose to schedule talks on Monday, Tuesday,
| |
| − | Thursday, and Friday of the conference week. The talks will include
| |
| − | plenary sessions with each talk of 45 minutes duration, and a number of
| |
| − | thematic sessions with talks each of 15 or 20 minutes duration. A
| |
| − | "Scientific Committee" has been set up to advise on which "keynote"
| |
| − | talks should be included in the plenary sessions. The lecture venues
| |
| − | will have modern computer projection facilities.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Poster Presentations:* Posters will be displayed during the
| |
| − | conference. We will schedule times free of oral presentations when
| |
| − | authors are present to discuss their posters. Detailed information on
| |
| − | size and format for the posters is given on the FORAMS 2010 website
| |
| − | http://www.forams2010.uni-bonn.de <http://www./????????%20/>
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Microfossil viewing and exchange:* A laboratory with stereomicroscopes
| |
| − | will be set up to allow participants to view and exchange foraminiferal
| |
| − | material during the conference.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Mid-conference field day:* We plan to take Wednesday off for
| |
| − | mid-conference field trips (see Website for more information). The
| |
| − | mid-conference dinner is scheduled for Wednesday evening and will take
| |
| − | place on a Rhine River cruiser in the Rhine Valley.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Pre- and Post- Conference Field Excursions: * The wealth of
| |
| − | paleontological localities in Germany offers a number of intriguing
| |
| − | possibilities for pre- and post-conference field trips. The field trips
| |
| − | will be of variable duration, ranging from two days to over a week, and
| |
| − | will include sites of both micropaleontological and geological interest
| |
| − | whenever possible. Depending on demand, excursions around Bonn and to
| |
| − | North and South Germany may be offered (Cretaceous Basin Evolution in NW
| |
| − | Germany; Micropaleontological evidence of the Rhine Graben Rift System);
| |
| − | Modern North Sea Intertidal Environments; Spectacular Fossillagerstätten
| |
| − | of South Germany (Solnhofen, Messel, Holzmaden, Nördlingen Meteorite
| |
| − | Crater and Adelholzen with giant Nummulite and Orbitolina deposits).
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Social Program:* An ice-breaker party, and mid-conference dinner will
| |
| − | be scheduled during conference week. The mid-conference dinner is
| |
| − | scheduled for Wednesday evening and will take place on a Rhine River
| |
| − | cruiser in the Rhine Valley. This part of the valley with its steep
| |
| − | vineyards, and many romantic castles and ruins is a UNESCO World
| |
| − | Heritage Site. Depending on demand, an "accompanying guest program" will
| |
| − | be arranged (guided city tours of Bonn and Cologne, see Website). The
| |
| − | closing ceremony for FORAMS 2010 will be held on the afternoon of Friday
| |
| − | September 5th.
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | *Accommodation: *
| |
| − | For details on accomodation see our website for contact addresses. | |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | *Registration fees and other costs*
| |
| − | We realise that European Currency (EURO) is currently at a high.
| |
| − | Therefore we will attempt to keep the conference registration fee as low
| |
| − | as possible (see website for details).
| |
| − | | |
| − |
| |
| − | Please let us know of any idea you would have to improve the meeting
| |
| − | even further. Suggestions and offers for collaboration are very much
