[Aqualist] Advance Date: Neogene Polar Diatom Taxonomy Workshop

[Leanne Armand]

Dear Colleagues,

I anticipate holding the 3rd Neogene Polar Diatom Taxonomy Workshop at 
Macquarie University, Sydney, 4-8th July,  2011.

This relaxed, hands/eyes on, week-long workshop is focused on teaching 
and learning taxonomy a multitude of polar diatom species from those 
actively working in the field (e.g. ANDRILL, IODP, Subantarctic Islands, 
Open Ocean, sea ice and Antarctic coastal environments. Previous reports 
on the fun had at earlier meeting  can be found in :

Asmmy, P., 2008. Report - 2nd Neogene Polar Marine Diatom Workshop, 
4-10th August 2007, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, or 
alternatively Mutual learning between a plankton ecologist and 
micropalaeontologists. Diatom Research 23 (1), 263-265.

Armand, L.K., 2006. Report. Neogene Polar Marine Diatom Workshop, 1-6th 
August 2005, Yamagata, Japan. Diatom Research 21 (1), 227-228.

We welcome participation from students, active researchers and retired 
from work (not life) sorts with an interest in passing on knowledge of 
their favourite diatoms species/polar habitat.

At this stage we are looking to hear from "potential" participants to 
get an idea of accommodation needs. We have a fully equipped brand new 
microscopy teaching laboratory here, with several screens to put up 
anything interesting that is under any microscope, so no one needs to 
bring any hardware.

This message is also a reminder to add the event into your (and 
students) future plans and funding requests (including passports and visas).

Please drop me a line if you think you'd be interested in attending so I 
can ensure you are on future e-mail messages.

Kind regards,
Leanne Armand (on behalf of the organising committee Amy Leventer, Ric 
Jordan, David Harwood and Ryzard Ligowski).
