NETWORK DETAILS

This site provides quite extensive details on the project, but most of it is primarily intended for use by members of the project, so people without an active research interest in the field may find it less than useful.

• Summary - short introduction for non-scientists
• Details - concise overview for interested scientists (based on the CODENET poster)
• Participants - list of participants with email addresses, notes on the CODENET mailing list - or take a look at the lovely people
• Contact details - addresses, email and phone numbers for scientists-in-chief of each team
• Ways to participate - some ideas for how you could participate in the project
• Bibliography - publications from the project
• Final report - text, figures (downloadable PDFs)
• Deliverables (not in original proposal)

• Feb 2002 - Coccolithophores from cellular processes to global impact, Feb 2002, Ascona, Switzerland
  A post-project conference to develop results from CODENET, integrate them in previous multidisciplinary studies of coccolithophores, and present them to a wider audience.
