INA SUMMER SCHOOL on EVOLUTION and TAXONOMY
INASSET 2022 - Cenozoic Nannofossils

NEW - The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) is offering up to two £500 scholarships for TMS members to attend this course. If you are a TMS member and would like to apply please complete the application form, deadline 8th April.

Lyon September 5th – September 10th 2022

Laboratoire de Géologie de Lyon, Université Lyon 1, France

A 5-day programme of lectures and practical classes with a strong taxonomic focus including extensive microscope lab sessions. A grounding in Cenozoic research will be provided through lectures on paleoceanography, nannofossil microscopy, image capture. We will then review the current nannofossil biozonal schemes, discuss their usefulness for biostratigraphical applications, and present case studies examining the geological evolution of these microfossils. A geological excursion on the 6th day day to visit the historical stratotype of Berriasian.

This summer school is primarily intended for research students (Masters or PhD level), and early career-stage industrial biostratigraphers interested in nannofossil micropalaeontology, and its applications in biostratigraphy, and palaeoceanography.

Dates:
4th September arrival in Lyon (it will be possible to attend the full INA Conference then travel to Lyon)
5th-9th September: lectures and practicals.
10th September: field trip
