CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS: SPECIAL ISSUE

THE PALYNOLOGY AND MICROPALEONTOLOGY OF BOUNDARIES

Martin Head and I are planning to assemble a special journal issue focussed
on "The Palynology and Micropaleontology of Boundaries". The issue will be
focussed around the Special Session (#22) on the same topic, sponsored by
the Canadian Asociation of Palynologists (CAP),  which will be held at the
GAC/MAC 2002 meeting in Saskatoon in May. However, we are interested in
extending an invitation to others who might also be interested in
contributing so that papers not presented at the conference may also be
considered for inclusion in this issue.

We have received an expression of interest from Elsevier and we would like
to direct this Special Issue to "Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology,
Palaeoecology" (known as Palaeo-3).
Besides its high citation impact and international reputation, Palaeo-3
also offers the following advantages: 1)  Palaeo-3 plans publication within
4 months of final acceptance of the special issue by the chief editors; 2)
Foldouts are free; 3)  25 reprints free, 4) no page charges..

In order to formalize our proposal to the publishers, we would like to know
as soon as possible (and by April 30 at the latest) if you are interested
in submitting a manuscript based: 1) on your presentation at Saskatoon,
and/or 2) some other aspect of the micropaleontology or palynology of
boundaries. In order to help the planning process, I need a provisional
title of your proposed paper and list of authors. Please send this
information to me (Alwynne Beaudoin, e-mail abeaudoi at gpu.srv.ualberta.ca)

Please note the following:

1. In order to expedite the publication process, we anticipate a deadline
for submission of papers of July 31 2002
2. All papers will go through the regular peer review process
3. All papers will need to conform to Elsevier's publication guidelines

We look forward to your support. We believe that this special issue will
highlight some important and cutting-edge research on this aspect of
geoscience.
