[Aqualist] New pollen databases available on PalaeoWorks

[Simon Haberle]

Dear Palaeoworkers,

There are now some additional region specific pollen reference images 
that have been made available on the PalaeoWorks website. These are 
extracts from 3 unpublished PhD theses and a published paper on 
material from Australia and Papua New Guinea. This is an ongoing 
process of making grey literature in our field more widely available. 
If anyone else has similar collections of images that they would like 
to have scanned and made available on this site then please contact 
me to arrange this.

Thanks to Adam Black in the PalaeoWorks lab for scanning this material.

Cheers and Happy New Year, Simon
